Former Nickerson High School standout, Roger Detter, will be inducted into the Arizona State Sun Devil Hall of Fame on Saturday evening in Tempe, Ariz.
Detter graduated from Nickerson High School in 1965 and attended Arizona State from 1965-69.
He is one of the most decorated athletes in ASU history, competing in three sports, baseball, men's basketball and track.
He was a member of two national championship teams in his time in Tempe, winning a title with the Sun Devil baseball team in 1967 and 1969. He is one of just four players in program history to win a pair of national titles.
Per an Arizona State release, "He captained the 1969 championship team and set the then College World Series record for stolen bases (7) that summer, while making the All-CWS team at shortstop. On the hardwood, Detter was the 1968 Most Valuable Player for Sun Devil Basketball as the team's star point guard, serving as the captain in back-to-back seasons (1968-69). He remains the team's record-holder for consecutive free throws made (36) and averaged 12.0 points per game in his final season. Later in the 1968 season, Detter competed in all home events for Sun Devil Track & Field, completing double-headers for baseball before racing to the track to throw the javelin. A true Sun Devil for life, the mark that Detter made on ASU is still felt to this day."
The induction ceremony will take place on Saturday at halftime of the ASU and KU football game.
