DURHAM, N.C. – Former Duke football letterman and assistant coach Jerry McGee will be part of the 2015 induction class for the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. The 10-member class includes Jeff Bostic, Joe Bostic, John Clougherty, Freddie Combs, Rick Hendrick, Gene Littles, McGee, Lenox Rawlings, Charlotte Smith and Andrea Stinson.
The class will be enshrined during the 52nd annual induction banquet on Friday, May 15, at the Raleigh Convention Center. An afternoon news conference will be held on Thursday, May 14, at 4 p.m., at the N.C. Museum of History, located at 5 East Edenton Street in Raleigh.
