Brock Lesnar was recently named among the 2026 class of the University of Minnesota’s M Club Hall of Fame.
The M Club is notably one of the nation’s larges and oldest varsity letterwinner clubs, releasing the following on the former WWE Champion in a press statement:
Brock Lesnar made a name for himself while competing with Gopher wrestling during his two seasons here from 1998-2000. A Webster, S.D. native, Lesnar transferred to Minnesota from Bismarck Junior College in the fall of 1998 and proved to be a dominant force at heavyweight. During his Gopher career, Lesnar racked up a remarkable 55-3 record and 23 pins. He won the 2000 NCAA heavyweight championship after finishing as an NCAA runner-up in 1999. A two-time All-American and two-time Big Ten champion, Lesnar ended his career tied for the best winning percentage in program history. He later went on to pursue a professional wrestling career with WWE in 2000 and became a seven-time WWE Champion, including earning the distinction of becoming the youngest champion in company history in 2002. He also spent time in the UFC, becoming the heavyweight champion in 2008. Further showcasing his athleticism, Lesnar was also in training camp with the Minnesota Vikings in 2004 and played in three preseason games despite not having played football since high school.
The induction ceremony takes place Friday, October 2 at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
News of Lesnar’s induction into his alma mater’s Hall of Fame comes after competing at WWE SummerSlam, ultimately losing to Oba Femi inside Hell in a Cell as recapped by Mike Tedesco in his live coverage of the event.
After the match, Lesnar returned to the ring to declare Femi “the future” and raised his arm to a big reaction from the crowd.
