A talented wide receiver with impeccable hands and a nose for the ball, Ronnie Mallett is the University of Central Arkansas' first-ever College Football Hall of Fame inductee. Mallett earned First Team NAIA All-America honors from 1979-81, the first in school history to achieve the distinction three times. He helped guide Central Arkansas to a 33-8-2 record and three conference championships in four seasons. A three-time All-Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference selection, Mallett shattered numerous receiving records, many of which he still holds including: single game receiving yards (242), career touchdown receptions (30) and career receiving yards (2,649). To date, Mallet ranks in UCA?s Top 10 in 20 record categories for receiving. Despite UCA only averaging 20 pass attempts per game during Mallet?s four-year tenure, he is tied for the school record with nine 100-yard receiving games and has three of UCA?s four 200-yard receiving game performances.
