Former Arizona State Sun Devils' WR Aaron Cox Going into ASU Hall Of Fame

Eight former Sun Devils will make up the 2010 Arizona State University Sports Hall of Fame class, ASU announced Tuesday.

Among those eight former ASU greats is ex-Los Angeles Rams' wide receiver Aaron Cox.

While at ASU, Cox played in three bowl games, including the 1987 Rose Bowl in which the Sun Devils beat the University of Michigan Wolverines 22-15.

In the Rose Bowl, Cox caught four passes for 104 yards. This is the most recent ASU Rose Bowl victory as it lost the only appearance since then. 

Cox was also a two-time AP Honorable Mention and currently holds the records for longest reception (95 yards) and most receiving yards by a freshman in a game when he recorded 159 yards against the Florida State Seminoles.

Cox finished his ASU career with 2,692 receiving yards, which ranks fourth all time amongst Sun Devils.

In the 1988 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles native was selected 20th overall by the then-LA Rams.

Cox played six seasons in the NFL, splitting his time with the Rams and the Indianapolis Colts.

He had 28 receptions four 590 yards and five touchdowns in his rookie year, but failed to live up to expectations in the other five years of his career.

The other members of the 2010 ASU Sports Hall of Fame Class are NBA player Eddie House, Kellee Booth (women's golf), Amanda Burbridge (volleyball), Paul Casey (men’s golf), Shawn Charles (Wrestling), Attila Czene (swimming) and Dwight Phillips (track and field).

The inductees will be honored at the Hall of Fame football game on Sept. 25 vs. Oregon State at Sun Devil Stadium.
