They’ll go in Aug. 30 during the Hawaii opener
Fresh off one of the greatest careers in school history, and just ahead of what should be a promising rookie season in the NFL, Tetairoa McMillan will be making a return trip to Tucson for the season opener Aug. 30 against Hawaii.
It won’t just be a homecoming, though. It will also be to include T-Mac in the Ring of Honor.
McMillan and former UA cornerback Randy Robbins will be formally inducted as the 51st and 52nd members of the Ring of Honor, which is displayed along the west side of Arizona Stadium above the bleachers.

McMillan, now a rookie wide receiver with the Carolina Panthers after they took him 8th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, left the UA as the career leader in receiving yards with 3,423. He broke the record previously held by Bobby Wade, the Wildcats’ receivers coach who is also in the Ring of Honor and who helped notify T-Mac of his inclusion on Monday.

McMillan’s NFL debut is set for Friday against the Cleveland Browns in a preseason game, with his first regular season contest Sept. 7 in Glendale against the Arizona Cardinals.
Robbins, who played for the UA from 1980-83, had 12 career interceptions with four returned for touchdowns. He was a 4th round pick of the Denver Broncos in 1984 and played nine seasons for Denver and the New England Patriots.
