MOBILE, Ala. – A trio of All-Americans will make up the University of South Alabama Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2017, it was revealed on Monday.

David Doss, Ajoke Odumosu and Viktoria Stoklasova will be inducted in an on-campus ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 11, then be recognized on the Ladd-Peebles Stadium field at halftime of the Jaguars' game against Arkansas State later that day.  The addition of the trio brings the number of former student-athletes, coaches and administrators who have been honored to 79 since the creation of the USA Athletic Hall of Fame in 1989.

A four-year baseball letterwinner from 2006-09, Doss began his career by being named to Collegiate Baseball's Freshman All-America team and ended it with third-team All-America honors from the organization.  After being voted the Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year his first season with the program, he would go on to be earn all-league honors each of his last three years at three different positions.  Doss ended his career as the Jaguars' all-time leader in hits (312), doubles (70) and RBI (197), and he was ranked in the top 10 on the school's all-time list with a .367 batting average, 37 home runs and 195 runs scored as well.  He hit .400 as a freshman — which was fourth best in the Sun Belt — to help South to an NCAA Regional appearance, and was also among the top 10 in the conference after batting .365 as a sophomore and .378 his final year while recording 10 or more homers on three occasions and posting 10-plus doubles in each of his four seasons.

Not only did Odumosu earn All-America accolades in the 400-meter hurdles as a senior, she would go on to represent Nigeria at the 2008 and '12 Olympic games — advancing to the finals of the event on her second trip — following the conclusion of her Jag career.  The school record holder in the indoor and outdoor 400-meter dashes as well as the outdoor 400-meter hurdles, Odumosu qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 400-meter hurdles as a freshman in 2004 as well.  In three years — she missed the '05 campaign due to injury — she won eight individuals titles at Sun Belt Conference Indoor and Outdoor Championships, and she was also named to the league's 30th Anniversary All-Time Women's Outdoor Track & Field Team.  Odumosu was chosen the outstanding track performer at the SBC Outdoor Championships each of her last two years after winning the 400 meters and 400-meter hurdles at both meets.

Stoklasova lettered three times for the Jaguar women's tennis team from 2001-03, earning an invitation to the NCAA Singles Championship her last two seasons; she would win two matches her second time qualifying for the event.  Stoklasova was ranked among the top 40 players in the country in both singles and doubles by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association in 2002 — she was fifth in the region in both as well — and after ending the following season 33rd nationally she received All-America recognition.  Her efforts helped the Jaguars win the Sun Belt championship each of her three years with the program, as they would twice advance to the NCAA Tournament including winning their opening round match in 2003.  A two-time all-conference selection, Stoklasova was named to the SBC 30th Anniversary All-Time Women's Tennis Team while also earning second-team academic all-district honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America her final year.
