​One of Michigan State’s most productive running backs and one of Tom Izzo’s most underrated point guards will get their Hall-of-Fame nods this fall.Michigan State announced a seven-member 2026 class for the Athletics Hall of Fame on Thursday. The group includes football players Tico Duckett and Dan Currie; basketball players Kalin Lucas and Lindsay Bowen; and cross country and track coach Walt Drenth, as well as runners Sue Latter-Addison and Leah O’Connor-Falland.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe induction ceremony will be Friday, Sept. 11, at the Clara Bell Smith Center, and honorees also will be celebrated at Michigan State’s home football game against Eastern Michigan on Sept. 12.Running back Tico Duckett of the Michigan State Spartans runs down the field during a game against Michigan.As a redshirt sophomore, Duckett canonized himself in Michigan State lore with the winning touchdown to knock off No. 1 Michigan, 28-27, in 1990 — a nine-yard rush with less than two minutes on the clock to stun the Wolverines in Ann Arbor. That may be genetic. His younger brother, T.J., made a rivalry play of his own in 2001 with a last-second winning touchdown catch from quarterback Jeff Smoker in 2001’s “Clockgate” game. T.J. also is a member of the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame.A Kalamazoo native and product of Loy-Norrix High School, Duckett rushed for 1,394 yards and 10 touchdowns that season to start a streak of three straight 1,000-yard rushing years. Michigan State earned a piece of the Big Ten championship in 1990, and Duckett was the Big Ten’s offensive player of the year. He also ran track.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementDuckett’s 4,212 career yards rank third in program history, behind Lorenzo White at 4,513 and Javon Ringer at 4,398. White was an inspiration for successor Duckett, who wore the same throwback shoulder pads.“I’ve always tried to make sure that I lived up to the Lorenzo White standard,” Duckett said in a statement. “And that continues today, as I know that he had a heck of a speech during his MSU Hall of Fame induction.”When it comes to the hardwood, Mateen Cleaves and Cassius Winston soak up a lot of the lore among Izzo point guards, but among the standard-setters there ranks Lucas (2007-11), a Detroit native who led Michigan State to Final Fours in 2009 and 2010.Lucas earned Big Ten player of the year in 2009, leading Michigan State to the national-championship game, where the Spartans lost to North Carolina at Ford Field. Lucas was a three-time All-Big Ten selection, twice first-team. A torn Achilles in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2010 forced him to watch as Michigan State lost in the Final Four. He returned for his senior year, then his pro career took him to seven different countries, including two NBA games for Memphis and Detroit.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAt 1,996 career points, Lucas ranks fifth in scoring at Michigan State. He ranks 10th in program histor
