2025-26 SCAHOF President Randy Warrick
Randy Warrick, who spent nearly four decades in athletics at USC Aiken, has been named President of the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame.
“The Board of Directors is fortunate to have Randy Warrick serve as this year’s president as he has been the long-time face of USC Aiken Athletics and a committed board member,” said SCAHOF Executive Director Andy Solomon. “We will benefit greatly from his vast experiences.”
Warrick, who retired in 2017 and received the Order of the Palmetto, spent 39 years at USCA as baseball coach and director of athletics, splitting the dual responsibilities in 1990. He was an integral part of the formation of the Peach Belt Conference and guided the Pacers from NAIA to NCAA Division II. He was a five-year member of the NCAA DII National Golf Committee and served as chair from 2004-06. Warrick is also the longest serving director of athletics in the history of the South Carolina system.
“I am honored to serve as president of the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame,” said Warrick. “The Hall enjoys a storied past and has a bright future as it continues to honor those individuals who have contributed to the great athletic legacy in South Carolina and throughout the nation.
“And our new relationship with the South Carolina State Museum is only going to enhance our mission,” he added.
He replaces Bill Hamilton of Orangeburg and South Carolina State University.
Solomon also announced that Columbia attorney Jim Corbett will be the first vice president, Rick Sanford of Columbia and a 1998 inductee will be the second vice president, and Columbia veterinarian Eddie Robinson as third vice president.
Corbett is a former radio sports reporter and has practiced law in Columbia with the same firm for the last 34 years. Calling Columbia home since starting USC in 1979, the native of Oakland, NJ, was named the 1985 Radio Journalist of the Year by the RTNDAC and has been an award-winning officer in both the Jaycees and Knights of Columbus.
Sanford is a former USC defensive back from Rock Hill (1975-78) who earned All-America status as a senior and was selected in the first round (25th overall) by the New England Patriots, becoming the first Gamecock to be drafted in the inaugural round. The Rock Hill native played for seven years in the NFL for the Patriots (1979-84) and Seattle Seahawks (1985). He is a retired Doctor of Chiropractic and a Columbia-area radio personality.
Robinson earned degrees from Clemson University and Tuskegee University and owned and operated Midlands Veterinary Practice for 30 years. A former president of IPTAY, he also serves on the Spoleto Festival USA Board of Directors. In addition to IPTAY, past board experience includes the Clemson University Foundation Board, the Clemson University Alumni National Council, the Clemson University Board of Visitors, the Saluda Shoals Foundation Board and the University of South Carolina Small Business Development Center Advisory Board.
The South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame‘s 64th Annual Induction Ceremony and Banquet is set for Monday, May 18, at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. Table opportunities will be available online at SCAHOF.org shortly after the class is announced.
