Induction:
2021

The only Bruin to win the Mackey Award as the nation's top collegiate tight end, Marcedes Lewis capped a four-year UCLA career in 2005 with the prestigious award, along with consensus first-team All-America honors. Lewis' 21 career touchdowns still rank second on UCLA's all-time list, and his 58 receptions in 2005 rank as the second-most ever by a Bruin tight end. He finished his UCLA career with 126 receptions. Lewis was selected in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he played for 12 seasons. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2010 after setting a franchise record with 10 touchdown catches, and he led all NFL tight ends in yards averaged per catch in 2009 and 2010. In 2011, he was named Jacksonville's team captain and received the franchise tag. After 12 years at Jacksonville, Lewis moved on to Green Bay, where he has spent the last four years. Lewis' achievements extend beyond the field. He founded the Marcedes Lewis Foundation in 2009 to support youth opportunities in sports.
