Inducted 2026

Highly regarded as one of the greatest men’s college soccer coaches of all-time, the native of the United Kingdom, Jeremy Gunn’s legacy in Bakersfield began 33 years ago as an NCAA Division II first-team All-American at Cal State Bakersfield on the men’s soccer team and his legacy here in Kern County continued for the rest of the decade as an assistant coach for the Runners from 1993-99.

A 1993 graduate of CSU Bakersfield, Gunn began his coaching career as an assistant at his alma mater. He served on both the men's and women's coaching staffs during his seven-year stint at CSUB, helping the Roadrunners to the 1997 NCAA Division II national championship and an appearance in the 1995 national semifinal. Gunn was recently selected to the 2021 CSUB Alumni Hall of Fame class.

After a successful tenure in his first head coaching position at Fort Lewis, Gunn was hired as the men’s soccer head coach at Stanford in 2012.

The Cardinal won three consecutive NCAA D-I national championships from 2015-17 and advanced to the NCAA Division I Sweet 16 in 2025 before his induction, the 11th NCAA tournament appearance in the previous 12 seasons for Stanford under Gunn.
