LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame has announced its Class of 2025. 
The four new members have strong ties to Kentucky and who have made significant contributions to their sports in the Commonwealth and nationally.
The 47th KSHOF class is Randall Cobb, Tayshaun Prince, Carole Liedtke and Nora Martin Ross.
Louisville Sports Commission President and CEO Greg Fante said, “This year’s inductees have worked diligently to make a difference in their respective areas. And we are proud to celebrate their achievements in Freedom Hall, home of the KSHOF’s official enshrinement gallery.”
Cobb attended the University of Kentucky from 2008 to 2010. Primarily a wide receiver for the Cats, Cobb also played wildcat quarterback, returned punts and kicks and was even a placeholder. He set the UK and SEC single-season records with 2,396 all-purpose yards. He finished his college career as UK’s all-time touchdown leader with 37. Cobb was drafted in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. The Tennessee native played professionally for 13 years. He earned his degree from UK in 2016.
Prince played for four years at UK from 1999 to 2002. He was the SEC Player-of-the Year and SEC Tournament MVP in 2001. He helped lead the Cats to three NCAA Sweet 16 appearances and a trip to the Elite Eight. Prince was a first-round NBA draft pick by the Detroit Pistons in 2002. He played 14 seasons professionally and won an Olympic Gold Medal at the 2008 Beijing Games. When he retired, he began a career as an NBA executive.
Louisville native Liedtke spent 60 years dedicated to gymnastics as an athlete, coach and official. At the University of Louisville, she led the gymnastics program to six collegiate regional championships and appearances in six AIAW Nationals—before the NCAA began having women’s championships. Liedtke served nationally and internationally as an NAWGJ and FIG gymnastics judge for 57 years, achieving the industry’s highest Brevet level. She has been honored with seven Hall of Fame Awards.
Rounding out the 2025 class is Nora Martin Ross. She is one of the mst decorated trap shooters of all time. She was the first woman to earn a Grand American Championship title in what had traditionally been a male-dominated sport. Martin Ross has often been called the best female shooter since Annie Oakley. She is a 34-time Amateur Trapshooting Association All-American. She was inducted into the National Trap Shooting Hall of Fame in 1999.
A committee of 115 sports media professionals from across Kentucky helped choose this year’s class.
The 2025 KSHOF class and their families will be honored on Sept. 23, 2025 in Freedom Hall in Louisville.
David S. Beck, President and CEO of Kentucky Venues added, “Few venues can match the rich sports history housed within these walls, and each new inductee adds to that legacy, serving as an inspiration for future generations.”
