Former ASU head coach Frank Kush named to Pac-12 Hall of Honor

Iconic Arizona State football coach Frank Kush will be named to the Pac-12 Hall of Honor as part of the 2019 class.

Kush is the most successful head coach in ASU football history and won 176 games as the head coach of the Sun Devils in 21 1/2 seasons. Kush led the Sun Devils to seven bowls, including four Fiesta Bowl wins and one Peach Bowl victory. Kush continued his commitment to ASU as an ambassador until his passing in 2017.

The former Michigan State defensive lineman is also a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, Peach Bowl Hall of Fame and Michigan State Hall of Fame.

Kush will be the 18th Sun Devil to be inducted into the Pac-12 Hall of Honor. Kush will also become the first member of ASU football to be honored since the Hall’s creation in 2002.

The induction ceremony will take place on March 15 prior to the semifinals of the Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Tournament in Las Vegas. Kush’s son, Dan Kush, will accept the award in place of his father.
