LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A record-setting wide receiver, an Olympic gold medalist, a trailblazing gymnastics judge and a history-making trap shooter will make up the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2025.
Four new members were announced Tuesday:
- Randall Cobb, a University of Kentucky football standout who played 13 seasons in the NFL
- Tayshaun Prince, a two-time Kentucky basketball All-American and NBA champion
- Carole Liedtke, a longtime Louisville gymnastics coach and international judge
- Nora Martin Ross, one of the most accomplished trap shooters in U.S. history
The group will be officially inducted on Sept. 23, 2025, at Freedom Hall in Louisville, home to the KSHOF's enshrinement gallery.
"This class honors four exceptional individuals who represent a wide range of sports and occupations – each having made a major impact on sports in the Commonwealth and nationally," Greg Fante, president and CEO of the Louisville Sports Commission, said in a news release Tuesday. "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."
Meet the 2025 inductees:
RANDALL COBB
A do-it-all star at Kentucky, Cobb set SEC and UK records with 2,396 all-purpose yards in 2010 and finished his college career with 37 touchdowns and 4,674 total yards. Drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the second round in 2011, he spent a decade with the team and caught over 600 passes for more than 7,600 yards and 54 touchdowns during a 13-year NFL career. Cobb was an All-Rookie pick in 2011 and a Pro Bowler in 2014.
TAYSHAUN PRINCE
Prince played four years at Kentucky from 1998–2002, earning SEC Player of the Year and All-American honors. He helped the Wildcats reach three Sweet 16s and one Elite Eight before being drafted by the Detroit Pistons. He won an NBA championship in 2004, earned four All-Defensive team honors and took home Olympic gold with Team USA in 2008. Prince now serves as an NBA executive and was part of the 2008 "Redeem Team" that entered the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2025.
CAROLE LIEDTKE
A Louisville native, Liedtke spent six decades involved in gymnastics as an athlete, coach and international judge. She led Moore High School to three state championships and helped guide the University of Louisville to six AIAW Nationals before NCAA championships existed for women. Liedtke judged competitions at the highest levels for 57 years, earning Brevet status, and ran a gymnastics school that inspired local youth in gymnastics, cheer and dance.
NORA MARTIN ROSS
Born in Paris, Ky., Ross began shooting trap at age 12 and went on to win more than 230 titles in Kentucky alone — and hundreds more across the U.S. In 1991, she became the first woman to win a Grand American Championship and is a 34-time ATA All-American. Widely regarded as the greatest female trap shooter since Annie Oakley, Ross was inducted into the National Trapshooting Hall of Fame in 1999.
