Induction:
2019
Class:
1999

Two-year starting quarterback Todd Bankhead guided UMass to its 1998 Division I-AA National Championship victory as one of the most prolific passers in school history. A classic pocket passer with great arm speed, Bankhead owns many of the top-10 single-game passing marks in school history. He set single-season records for passing yards (3,919), completions (303), attempts (525) and touchdowns (34) during the 1998 season, then broke the mark for completion percentage (.635) in 1999.

Bankhead finished his career with school-record totals of 7,018 passing yards, 561 completions, 931 attempts, 51 touchdowns and a .603 completion percentage. A third-team all-America selection during the 1998 season, Bankhead also earned All-Atlantic 10 honors in 1998 and 1999.

He still holds UMass season records for passing yards (3,919), passes attempted (525), completions (303), passing touchdowns (34) and offensive plays (622).

Bankhead was inducted into the UMass Athletics Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2019. He joins former teammates Kole Ayi, Khari Mitchell and Marcel Shipp in the Hall of Fame, while the entire 1998 NCAA Division I Championship-winning team was inducted as a group in 2018.
