Justin Smith

Golf, 2001-04
HOF Class of 2018

Holding the distinct honor of sinking the putt that clinched the program's lone national title (2002), Smith has a highlight moment that punctuates an outstanding career. He finished fourth in the individual standings that year, the first of three consecutive All-America finishes. Smith, hailing from Moon Township, Pa., is one of just two golfers in school history to earn three All-America honors. He was a member of two Big Ten title teams, a two-time First Team All-Big Ten selection (including a runner-up finish at the 2004 Big Ten tournament) and a member of three teams that put together top-20 finishes at the NCAA tournament.
