Antwan Peek, Corie Blount Named Among 2023 UC Athletics Hall of Fame Inductees

Cincinnati has had the Hall of Fame since 1976.

CINCINNATI — Two well-known Bearcats from the football field and basketball court are a part of the 2023 UC Athletics Hall of Fame class.

Former basketball star Corie Blount and former linebacker Antwan Peek Sr. made an impact at UC during the 1990s and are now hall of famers. They'll join Ann Thomas (women’s soccer, 1997-01) and Chris Wineberg (men’s track and field, 2001-04) at the Fifth Third Arena induction ceremony on Sept. 15 at 6 p.m. ET.

“From the fields to the court and the track, these four Bearcats were game-changers and trailblazers,” Director of Athletics John Cunningham said in a press release. “I’m excited to welcome our latest Bearcats legends to our Hall of Fame. They each had a tremendous impact on their programs on and off the field. Their influence will be felt for years to come. They are Bearcats for life, and I’m looking forward to honoring them in person this fall.”

Blount helped drive deep NCAA Tournament runs during the 1991-92 and 1992-93 seasons while averaging 9.4 points and 7.0 rebounds per game across his career. He wound up playing 11 seasons in the NBA.

Peek got to Clifton a few years later and helped Cincinnati football capture its first conference title in four decades (2002 Conference USA Champions). He is still UC’s all-time leader in sacks (27.0), tackles for loss (56.0), forced fumbles (17), and blocked kicks (7).

Fans can purchase tickets for the event starting in early August.
