Jack Ginn is honored to headline the 2018 Hall of Fame class after serving as the first head football coach in NCWC history and kick-starting a program that became the first-ever undefeated USA South Champion in league history. Ginn joined the Bishops in 2003 and immediately began recruiting coaches and players to join Wesleyan's inaugural team. He eventually led nearly 150 Bishops into battle on September 4th, 2004 at Shenandoah University, marking the first football game in NCWC history and beginning a notable list of "firsts" that grew much more quickly than most expected.

On September 18th, Ginn and his Bishops hosted their first-ever home game at the Rocky Mount Athletic Complex against Greensboro College.  It proved to be a special day for the Blue & Gold as they recorded the program's first victory, as well as its first USA South Conference win, by a 14-6 score. NCWC accomplished another feat just two weeks later when the Bishops earned a 30-22 victory at Chowan University, marking the program's first road win.  Wesleyan ended its first season of competition with a respectable 4-4 record.

The next two seasons saw Ginn steadily establish Wesleyan as a USA South contender, culminating with a 2007 season that remains the most successful in program history. After dropping the first two games of the season, his Bishops reeled off a program-record nine consecutive victories that included a perfect 7-0 mark in conference play and resulted in Ginn earning USA South Coach of the Year honors. Having secured the league's automatic NCAA berth, the team's ninth straight win was one for the record books as Wesleyan became the first #8 seed in NCAA history to upset a #1 seed when the Bishops knocked off a talented Washington & Jefferson squad by a 35-34 score in overtime. Ginn proceeded to graduate the program's first senior class before accepting a position at Division II powerhouse Grand Valley State University in Michigan.

Ginn's Wesleyan tenure saw him build a strong winning tradition for North Carolina Wesleyan football. From 2004 to 2007, his Bishops posted the 2^nd highest winning percentage in the nation among newly-established D-III programs, and the Bishops boasted the highest winning percentage by a North Carolina D-III affiliate during that same span. Overall, he posted a 23-17 record, which included a 7-2 mark versus North Carolina opponents and an 18-9 record in USA South play. Individually, he guided 30 players to First or Second Team All-Conference honors, six players to USA South Player and/or Rookie of the Year accolades, and produced the program's first All-American.
