TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State University will welcome eight new members into its Bill and Judy Schaefer athletic Hall of Fame this year, Vice President for Athletics Lisa Love has announced.

The 2008 class includes Hall of Distinction inductee Bruce Snyder (football coach) and student-athletes Pat Tillman (football), Eric Allen (football), Jacinta Bartholomew (track and field), Brandie Burton (golf), Lisa Dacquisto (softball), Markus Mollica (wrestling) and Jeremy Veal (basketball). The inductees will be honored at the Hall of Fame football game on Oct. 25 vs. Oregon at Sun Devil Stadium/Frank Kush Field.

Jeremy Veal (basketball/1995-98) left ASU as the all-time leading scorer in school history and his 1,984 points currently rank second behind only Eddie House. In his freshman season, he played in all 33 games and helped the Sun Devils reach the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in 20 years. He then became a regular starter over the next three seasons, and he finished his career by leading the Pac-10 with 20.8 points per game in 1997-98. Veal earned All-Pac-10 honors for both his junior and senior seasons, making him one of just six Sun Devils to be named All-Pac-10 multiple times.
