David Means (Football, 1970-1973) was one of the best defensive lineman to play football at Southeast Missouri. He was a three-time All-Conference selection. Means had 18 sacks during the 1972 season alone. He received the Vogelsang Award for Most Valuable Lineman and led Southeast to the MIAA Conference title in 1973. Means was a 12th-round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills and played nine games with the organization in 1974. He then played a half-season with the Calvary Stampedes in the Canadian Football League.

Jane Stacy (Friend of the Redhawks) has been associated with Southeast Missouri State University since first coming to the University as a freshman student in 1973. She was hired by former President Mark Scully as Director of Alumni Services, a position she held until her retirement in 2008. For almost 10 years, Jane was also First Lady of the University while her former husband, Dr. Bill W. Stacy, served as President of Southeast Missouri State. As Alumni Director, she supervised the Homecoming Steering as well as the Alumni Council. She pioneered the implementation of Young Alumni Merit Award and Faculty Merit Award, and started the St. Louis Alumni chapter as well as 11 other groups. Stacy began a travel program which continued for many years. During these years, she became a major player in solicitation of funds as she served as the contact for many major gifts such as Roger and Ella Frances Rhodes, Aleen Vogel Wehking and Mary Johnson Tweedy. Stacy added the title of Director of Major Gifts to her responsibilities. It has been estimated by the Development Office that she was directly responsible for raising over 15 million dollars for the University. Additionally, Stacy wrote a book titled, "The Athletic Hall of Fame of Southeast Missouri State Universty" commemorating the history of the Athletics Hall of Fame.

Trae Hastings (Baseball, 1975-1978) was a dominating left-handed pitcher who still holds Southeast Missouri's all-time career records in shutouts (5), strikeouts (239) and complete games (24). He boasted a staggering 2.30 ERA in his career, currently the second-best mark in school history. Hastings earned All-MIAA honors in three-straight seasons (1975, 1976, 1977) and was part of Southeast's 1976 NCAA Division II College World Series team that finished third. He also ranks among the school's all-time career leaders in wins (t3rd, 22), starts (t7th, 33), innings pitched (7th, 234.1) and strikeouts per nine innings (7th, 9.18). Hastings started all but three of his career appearances as one of the most feared pitchers in Southeast baseball history.

Lindsay Pickering (Soccer, 2005-2007 / Softball, 2004-2007) was a two-sport athlete at Southeast Missouri, excelling as a member of the women's soccer and softball teams. In soccer, Pickering was a two-time OVC Defensive Player of the Year, winning the coveted honor in 2005 and 2007. She earned First-Team All-OVC accolades each of those seasons and was a second-team pick in 2006. A three-year starting goalkeeper, Pickering rated as Southeast's career leader in shutouts (28), wins (34) and minutes played (5,233). In softball, she was a four-year starting outfielder from 2004-07. Pickering was named Second-Team All-OVC in 2006 and landed a spot on the All-OVC Tournament Team in both 2004 and 2005. She is the first soccer player and 18th multiple sport athlete to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Willie Ponder (Football, 2001-2002) shattered a number of records in his two short seasons as a star wide receiver at Southeast Missouri. An Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association and Sports Network All-American, and First-Team All-OVC selection, Ponder still holds several of the school's receiving records today. He ranks first in career receiving yards (2,543) and receptions per game (6.83), and held the school's all-time career receiving touchdowns record until the 10th week of the 2015 football season. In addition, Ponder tops the Redhawks single-season record lists in pass receptions (87), receiving yardage (1,453), receiving touchdowns (15) and receptions per game (7.25). All of those marks came during the 2002 campaign. Following his remarkable Southeast career, Ponder was selected in the sixth round of the 2003 National Football League Draft by the New York Giants and contributed as a kick returner in 2004. He led the NFL with a kickoff return average of 26.9 yards that year. Ponder was then with Seattle in 2006 and St. Louis in 2007.

Mark Hogan (Baseball Coach, 1995-2012), currently the all-time winningest coach in Southeast Missouri baseball history, retired after 18 seasons at the helm. He compiled a 526-456-1 (.536) record with one Ohio Valley Conference regular-season title (2002), two OVC Tournament crowns (1998, 2002) and the program's only two NCAA Tournament appearances (1998, 2002). Southeast became one of the elite teams in the OVC under Hogan's leadership. Not only did the Redhawks make the league's postseason tournament 18-straight years, but they racked up 248 conference victories along the way. Southeast also played in the OVC Tournament title game seven times and posted 15 or more league wins in eight seasons. A native of Cape Girardeau, Hogan achieved many milestones throughout his illustrious 31-year coaching career which culminated with an overall record of 911-713-3 between the NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NJCAA Division I ranks. Hogan picked up his 900th career win when the Redhawks beat Arkansas State on Apr. 17, 2012 and notched his 500th victory at Southeast when the Redhawks defeated Eastern Illinois on May 20, 2011. In 2007, Hogan surpassed the legendary Joe Uhls for the most wins in school history. He was also the first to win 30 games in a season that year, a feat he accomplished on nine occasions. Hogan led Southeast to a school record 37 wins and was named the OVC Coach of the Year, as the Redhawks won both the league's regular-season and tournament titles in 2002. Southeast later advanced to the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional where it beat host Alabama, giving Hogan his first postseason win. Hogan coached a total of 80 All-OVC honorees (40 first-team selections; 30 second-team picks; 10 All-Freshman Team selections). Thirteen of his players earned either the OVC Rookie, Player or Pitcher of the Year award. He also coached 13 All-Americans, two Hall of Famers and 15 Major League Draft picks during his time at Southeast. Among that group was Trenton Moses, who became only the third player in league history to win the coveted OVC Player of the Year honor in multiple seasons (2011, 2012). In his final to seasons as head coach, Hogan had four student-athletes win the OVC Medal of Honor and 29 make the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll. Additionally, the Redhawks earned a Team Academic Achievement Award in 2011 for having the most student-athletes with a 3.25 or better grade point average.
