Hampton Athletics Hall of Fame
Gareth Bonds
- Induction:
- 2026
One of the most dominant defensive players in program history, Gareth Bonds is Hampton's all-time leading tackler with 389 total stops. A defensive anchor, he was a legendary linebacker who established himself as one of the Pirates' all-time defensive leaders. Playing under Head Coaches Fred Freeman and Joe Taylor (both Hampton Athletics Hall of Fame inductees), his 202 career solo tackles are tops in the Hampton record book. He tied the school record for the tackles in a game with 25 stops against North Alabama in the NCAA Division II Playoffs on Nov. 21, 1992 helping lead the Pirates to a 9-2-1 overall record. He was a First Team All-American in 1991 and earned Second Team recognition in 1992. Bonds was named First Team CIAA (1990-92) and to the league's All-Rookie team (1989).
