The next time you walk into Arizona Stadium, look up and to the west.

The Wildcats history is right there. 

Forty-two former Arizona Wildcats have been enshrined in the Arizona Stadium "Ring of Honor" over the years, a number that will likely grow with the inevitable inclusion of both Rob Gronkowski and Scooby Wright. 

To make the football program's Ring of Honor, athletes must meet at least one of the following criteria: 

• Be named a first-team All-American.

• Earn a national "player of distinction" award, like national player of the year. 

• Earn conference player of the year, freshman of the year or offensive or defensive player of the year awards. 

• Finish in the top-three in UA history in at least three categories, or hold a career record for a minimum of five years. 

• Play 10 years in the NFL or earn all-pro status. 

Here's a look at the Wildcats who are in.
