Saban was elected to the LSHOF’s Class of 2020, but the global pandemic that spring postponed that year’s ceremonies. It also altered the NCAA football recruiting calendar and that shift prevented Saban, then coach at Alabama, from being inducted until now at the Hall’s annual June ceremonies, set this year for June 26-28 in Natchitoches.

The announcement was made by Ronnie Rantz, CEO/President of the LSHOF Foundation which hosts the annual induction activities, and LSHOF chairman Doug Ireland. The other members of the class were announced last fall.

Saban has close connections with four other 2025 inductees – Andrew Whitworth, Herb Vincent, Glenn Guilbeau and the late Ed Daniels, all who were involved with Saban during his time at LSU.

Whitworth was a star on the Tigers’ national championship team. Vincent oversaw communications for the athletics department while Saban was at LSU. Guilbeau and Daniels covered that team and other Saban-led squads at LSU and Alabama.

Whitworth, a champion at West Monroe High School, LSU and in the NFL during a 16-year pro career, is joined by pro basketball All-Stars Danny Granger and Vickie Johnson, the state’s winningest all-time college baseball coach Joe Scheuermann and Danny Broussard, one of the nation’s most successful high school basketball coaches, in this year’s induction class.
