Jim Larrañaga, Rolle Named Co-Hosts of 2026 Hall of Fame Celebrity Bowling Tournament
Former Hurricanes men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga and All-American cornerback Antrel Rolle will serve as co-hosts of the UM Sports Hall of Fame & Museum’s 16th Annual Celebrity Bowling Tournament & Game Watch Party on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, from 6-9 p.m., at Kings Dining and Entertainment in Doral. The event will coincide with Miami’s men’s basketball game in Tallahassee against Florida State.
“I am thrilled to be co-hosting this awesome event with Antrel that supports the UM Sports Hall of Fame & Museum,” said Larrañaga, the program’s all-time leader in coaching victories. “In my years of coaching at Miami, I heard about the event but wasn’t able to join the fun. I’m happy to attend this year and be able to watch the FSU game with many of our great Canes fans!”
Larrañaga was inducted into the UMSHoF&M in 2023 and retired in 2024 after serving 41 years of head coaching, 13-plus with Miami.
“It’s that time of year again where we get things ROCKIN’,” said Rolle, a 2004 consensus All-America selection at cornerback. “Super excited to co-host next to the man himself, Coach L. As a member of the Hall of Fame myself, there is no better way to show my appreciation. Let’s GO!!!”
Rolle was inducted into the UMSHoF&M in 2019 after being a first-round draft pick and spending 11 seasons in the NFL.
“As chairman of the annual UM Sports Hall of Fame & Museum Celebrity Bowling Tournament & Game Watch Party, I’m pleased to announce that this year we will have two Hall of Famers serve as co-hosts for the 2026 event,” said chairman Gerard Loisel. “Please come join hosts Coach Jim Larrañaga and Antrel Rolle as they welcome Hurricane fans for a fun filled evening on February 24.”
