The Michigan State Athletics Hall of Fame grew by six members Monday, including a legendary football coach, an elite golfer and a star basketball player.

The hall of fame’s 2025 class consists of football coach Mark Dantonio, golfer Caroline Powers, basketball player Sam Vincent, soccer player Tony Keyes, volleyball player Kori Moster and wrestler Nick Simmons. The induction ceremonies for those six will happen in September.

Recently added to the College Football and Rose Bowl halls of fame, Dantonio will join the MSU hall of fame as its winningest football coach in program history at 114-57. Dantonio led his teams to three Big Ten championships, two decided in the championship game, as well as wins in the 2014 Rose Bowl and 2015 Cotton Bowl. In 2015, the Spartans made the College Football Playoff for the first and only time in program history. He was the Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2010 and 2013. He retired in February 2020 after 13 seasons with the Spartans.

“For 13 years, we pushed forward to build something special — something timeless,” Dantonio said in a statement announcing the class. “This achievement reflects the dedication and hard work of all those individuals who excelled and helped create a TEAM.”

In a basketball career that included a 1986 NBA championship with the Boston Celtics, Vincent was also dominant with Michigan State. He finished his career at MSU ranked third all-time in scoring, though subsequent players have knocked him down to eighth. Vincent averaged 16.8 points on 52.9% shooting from the floor. In 110 games, he started 109 of them. He was a 1985 All-American during a senior year where he led the Big Ten in scoring with 23.7 points per game. His older brother Jay also played for the Spartans in the early 1980s, and they’re the only siblings to hold All-American honors in program history.

Since retiring from playing the sport in 1994, Vincent coached internationally in Greece, the Netherlands, Bahrain, South Africa and Nigeria, the last of which he coached the 2004 women’s team to the first Olympic victory by an African country. He also coached with the Dallas Mavericks before taking a full-time job with the Charlotte Bobcats in 2007, coaching for one year. After a stint coaching in Florida, he is back coaching in Africa with the Basketball Africa League.

After arriving on campus in 2009, Powers became the most decorated player ever to come out of the MSU women’s golf program, her high water mark being her sixth place finish in the 2011 NCAA Championship as an individual. She helped lead Michigan State to Big Ten championships in 2011 and 2012, finding another school-record finish — this one as a team — as the 2013 squad tied for ninth at the NCAA Championship.

Powers was a three-time honorable mention All-American and also earned three All-Big Ten first-team selections. She was the 2013 Big Ten Player of the Year and was a three-time recipient of the Alderton Award for Michigan State’s top female athlete. She came back to coach with head coach Stacy Slobodnik-Stoll from 2016-22.

Keyes is the second-leading scorer in MSU men’s soccer history at 129 points and leads all-time goals scored with 56. He was part of a strong Jamaican pipeline under Gene Kenney in the 1960s, yielding co-national championships in 1967 and 1968. Three others from those teams are also in the MSU Hall of Fame: Guy Busch, Joe Baum and Trevor Harris, the latter of whom Keyes helped recruit from Jamaica.

In her sophomore year, Moster became Michigan State’s first ever defensive player of the year, and quickly became its second in her junior year. She helped lead Michigan State to the Sweet 16 in 2012 and 2013.

In four seasons at Michigan State from 2011-14, Moster was a three-time All-American and two-time Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. She ranks third all-time in the Big Ten in career digs (2,218), a record that stands more than 700 digs above any other total at Michigan State.

Simmons, who wrestled at Michigan State from 2001-07, became the 11th Spartan wrestler to make the hall of fame. His 138-20 record ranks second in school history in wins, while his 46 pins in the 2007 campaign still hold a program record. He was a four-time NCAA All-American in his time at Michigan State, topping out at third place in the NCAAs and matching Pat Milkovich’s school record of 18 victories in the NCAA Tournament.
