Rick Dickson, Tulane director of athletics, announced members of the 2010 class, who will be inducted during homecoming festivities on Oct. 8 in the Lavin-Bernick Center on the uptown campus.

The 2010 class also includes the late Jimi Flowers, who was on the swimming team, and Gayle Letulle, who will receive the Billy Slatten Award.

The inductees also will be honored at halftime of the Tulane homecoming game against Army at the Louisiana Superdome on Oct. 9.

Moore was a do-it-all running back for the Green Wave from 2000–03. He rewrote the Conference USA and Tulane record books during his stellar career, becoming the second player in NCAA history to record 4,000 rushing and 2,000 receiving yards. He played pro football for the Minnesota Vikings and currently is with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Kogan was a five-time All-American in tennis after earning the honor in both singles and doubles. He was selected as the Conference USA Men's Tennis Player of the Decade in 2005.

McKiver played at Tulane from 2000–03 and helped the team to three straight trips to the NCAA Tournament. She also had a successful pro career.

Flowers was a member of the Green Wave men's swim team from 1979–83. He was a four-time Metro Conference champion in the 200-meter breaststroke. The national team manager and head coach for U.S. Paralympics Swimming, he died in 2009.

Letulle has served as statistician for football and basketball games at Tulane for 44 years. He also has been the New Orleans Saints' official statistician since the team's inception.
