Former Kansas State quarterback Michael Bishop, former Kansas quarterback David Jaynes, former Kansas State basketball player Willie Murrell and former Kansas basketball players Bud Stallworth and Wayne Simien headline the 2012 class of the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame.
The induction ceremony will be Oct. 7 in Wichita at the Sports Hall, located inside the Wichita Boathouse.
The five aforementioned stars are to be joined by former University of Wichita distance runner Harold Manning, collegiate tennis coach David Snyder (Winfield) and Emporia State softball player Brenda Stolle.
Salina native Kurt Budke, a former basketball player at Barton County in 1979-80 and 1980-81 before transferring to play for Bob Chipman’s powerhouse teams at Washburn, will be inducted posthumously. Budke, Oklahoma State’s women’s basketball coach, died last November in a tragic plane crash in Arkansas that killed four people.
Budke won nearly 80 percent of his games during a 19-year coaching career that included four junior-college championships.

MICHAEL BISHOP
Bishop established himself nothing short of a folk hero during his two-year career at Kansas State, capped by leading the Wildcats to a 22-3 record and 15-1 mark in the Big 12.
Bishop, the runner-up to Texas’ Ricky Williams for the 1998 Heisman Trophy, led Kansas State to its first No. 1 ranking that season. He ranks among Kansas State’s career leaders in passing efficiency, passing yardage (4,401) and total offense yardage (5,715).
Bishop also became the first player in Big 12 history to throw for 300 yards and rush for 100 yards in a single game. The Willis, Texas, native was a first-team all-conference selection in 1998, was a Football News and Sporting News first-team All-America selection and a third-team pick by The Associated Press.

DAVID JAYNES
Jaynes broke virtually every passing record in Kansas Jayhawks history in the early 1970s.
In 1973, Jaynes led KU to the Liberty Bowl and a 7-4-1 record. He finished fourth in the Heisman balloting that year.
Jaynes’ most memorable game was a 35-for-58 passing day for 394 yards against Tennessee in 1973.
The Bonner Springs native  held the career passing touchdown mark with 35, but it was topped by Todd Reesing’s 90 career touchdowns just a few short seasons ago.
Jaynes left KU as the top passer in school history with 5,132 yards.

WILLIE MURRELL
Murrell, a 6-foot-6 forward from Taft, Okla., starred for Kansas State from 1962 through 1964.
Averaging 20.6 points and 10.7 rebounds per game during his K-State career, Murrell was a 1964 first-team All-America selection, leading Kansas State to the Final four.
The Wildcats lost to legendary John Wooden and his UCLA Bruins, despite Murrell’s 29-point, 13-rebound effort.
The 71-year-old Murrell, whose No. 44 jersey was raised to the rafters at Bramlage Coliseum in 2009, played three seasons in the American Basketball Association as a member of the Denver Rockets, Miami Floridans and Kentucky Colonels. He averaged 13.1 points and 7.3 rebounds in 228 ABA games.

BUD STALLWORTH
Stallworth, a two-time All-Big Eight selection, was the 1972 conference player of the year.
Noted for his 50-point performance against Missouri in his final home game at KU, Stallworth remains in the top 10 in school history for career scoring average (25.3 points per game).
Stallworth was a member of  the 1971 Final Four team and had his jersey retired at Allen Fieldhouse in 2005.

WAYNE SIMIEN
A native of Leavenworth, Simien went on to become a two-time All-America selection his junior and senior years at Kansas (2002-03 and 2003-04).
While at Kansas, Simien won three Big 12 championships and earned four NCAA Tournament berths, including two Final Four finishes.
Simien finished his career as the 12th-leading scorer in the Jayhawks’ rich history with 1,593 points. His No. 23 jersey was retired on Jan. 29, 2011.
