Coupled with OU’s new scouting department, identifying and recruiting prospects, coaching talent to play at its peak and preparing players for life after college, whether it be in our out of sport, are just some of the areas where head coach Brent Venables and the Oklahoma football staff thrive.

Among the Sooners returning are a group of 19 offensive lettermen, 17 defensive lettermen and five specialist lettermen. Fourteen starters are back (eight on offense, six on defense) as the program plays its third season in the SEC and seeks its sixth trip to the College Football Playoff.

Oklahoma registered its second 10-win season under head coach Brent Venables in 2025 and reached the College Football Playoff behind one of the country’s stingiest defenses. OU led the nation in sacks and tackles for loss, and ranked among the top 10 in points and yards allowed. Tate Sandell also won the Lou Groza Award.

History is one tough customer at Oklahoma. The tradition, so rich and so long-standing, is as daunting as it is impressive. To be among the best at Oklahoma is to be among the best in college football. Review award winners, player honors, letterwinners, bowl game tradition, Sooners in the NFL and more.

SEASON BY SEASON The 2026 season will mark the 132nd campaign of intercollegiate football at OU. The Sooners were playing football 12 years before Oklahoma even became a state. Rarely has a football program and commonwealth enjoyed a more harmonious relationship than what exists in the Sooner state.

COVERING THE SOONERS 93 NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS • 169 ALL-AMERICANS • 7 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS

2026 MEDIA COVERAGE POLICIES The following media policies are subject to change at any time.

Credentials

Requests for media credentials for University of Oklahoma home games should be made online at SoonerSports.com/fbcredentials. Only those requests submitted by the sports editor of a print or digital publication, or the sports director of a radio or television station will be considered. Priority is given to daily newspapers (by circulation), television stations and radio stations that program sports for more than half of their daily broadcast schedules. A credential does not guarantee a seat and access to the team bench area is prohibited at all times. Credential requests should be made no later than one week before each game. Any organization that requests a single-game credential then does not use it might be prohibited from receiving another pass the remainder of the season. No credential requests will be granted after Wednesday of game week.

Red River Rivalry Credentials

Those interested in covering the annual Oklahoma-Texas game at Dallas will need to make a separate request for credentials. Aside from national media, only season credential holders are eligible. Because Oklahoma will serve as the host school this year, credential requests should be made at SoonerSports.com/rrrcredentials. OU-based media credentials will be distributed at the Tuesday media luncheon in Norman. Any credentials not claimed that day will be available the Friday before the game at a pickup location in Dallas (time and location TBA).

Credential Pickup (OU Home Games)

Credentials may be picked up at media will call at the OU Athletics Ticket Office (west side of Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium) beginning 2.5 hours before kickoff. Each media representative must claim his or her pass by showing official ID. No group pickups are allowed on game day.

Parking Passes

Parking passes will be available to credentialed media on a game-by-game basis. OU will utilize digital parking passes for the 2026 season. More information will be shared directly with media members who request parking.

MEDIA AVAILABILITY Practices: Oklahoma’s practices during the regular season are closed to media. Media are not permitted to observe practices or workouts from any location without approval from the OU Athletics Communications Office. Reporters will be permitted to view/record portions of Sooner practices in Norman during preseason camp, ahead of bowl play and in spring. Tuesday: Weekly press conferences for head coach Brent Venables and offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle will be held Tuesdays in person at 11 a.m. CT (Arbuckle) and 11:30 (Venables). Select Wednesdays: Head coach Brent Venables will participate in the SEC’s football coaches’ teleconference, to be held on select Wednesdays, from 10:40-10:50 a.m. CT. Contact the SEC Communications Office for access. Player Availability: Player availability during the season will occur following Monday practice, which will conclude early evening. The schedule will be communicated to local media each week. Some players have Monday evening class that could preclude them from interviews. Media are not permitted to directly contact OU players, coaches or staff. All interview requests must be directed to the OU Athletics Communications Office. Game Day: Postgame availability only. Members of the OU Athletics Communications staff will escort media representatives to the appropriate postgame interview areas with seven minutes remaining in the game. The Oklahoma locker room, home or away, is closed to media at all times. For games in Norman, head coach Brent Venables, OU offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle and several OU players will be brought to the team’s Red Room for press conferences and breakout interviews, while the opposing head coach will meet with the media inside the opponent interview room in the SoonerVision studio (southwest corner, under the stadium grandstands). An OU Athletics Communications Office representative will be on hand to assist media in finding these areas. Contact the visiting team SID for postgame player availability.

M GAYLORD FAMILY — OKLAHOMA MEMORIAL STADIUM One of America’s most recognized college football cathedrals, Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium celebrates its 102nd season in 2026. Situated on the east side of the Norman campus, this historical facility is the largest sports venue in the state and ranks among the 20 largest college football stadiums in the nation. With the expansion of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium to an official capacity of 83,489 in 2016 (it was reduced to 80,126 in 2019 due to aisle and seat widening) and with every home game exceeding that capacity, Oklahoma set numerous attendance records the past few years. In fact, the 18 largest crowds in stadium history have occurred in the past 10 seasons. Oklahoma’s average attendance in 2025 for eight home games was 83,534, ranking OU No. 13 in the nation. The largest crowd ever to watch a game in the history of the state of Oklahoma jammed Memorial Stadium on Nov. 11, 2017. The No. 5 Sooners cruised to a 38-20 win over No. 8 TCU in front of 88,308 spectators. OU has compiled a 151-17 home record the last 27 seasons, good for the second-best winning percentage (.899) in the nation during that period (Boise State enters the 2026 season with a .906 mark at 155-16).

CHAMPIONSHIP TRADITION 7 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS • 50 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS • 59 BOWL APPEARANCES

BOB STOOPS

Great college football and the Oklahoma Sooners. For as long as anyone can remember, the two have been one and the same. Unlike some schools where tradition represents ancient history, or others where it harkens back only a few years, Oklahoma’s tradition is a constant accomplishment unfettered by eras or time.

Oklahoma is king in the modern era of college football (1946-2025). Since the end of World War II, the Sooners are the nation’s No. 1 team, with more victories (716) than any other school. It also owns the second-best winning percentage (.762) among Power Four programs (Ohio State; .773).

A LEGACY OF WINNING Oklahoma has played in four national championship games and five College Football Playoffs over the last 26 seasons and won 14 Big 12 championships. OU also has turned out a list of award winners and draft picks so long that it taxes even the best memory to name them all. Greatness begets greatness and there has been plenty of that in Norman for generations. Now, from all corners of the country, the best players come to join a program of traditional success that is riding one of its biggest waves. Statistics prove that Oklahoma is likely to hit the 11-win mark about as much as any program in the nation, as the Sooners rank second nationally with 27 seasons of at least 11 victories (one behind Alabama’s 28). And over the past 26 years (since the start of the 2000 season), OU has registered 20 campaigns of at least 10 wins, second behind Ohio State for the most nationally. The Sooners’ 43 all-time seasons of at least 10 wins rank second nationally (one behind Alabama).

AP NATIONAL CHAMPIONS: 1950, 1955, 1956, 1974, 1975, 1985, 2000 Oklahoma is Championship Football Nothing defines the competitive success of a college athletics program like a national championship. Oklahoma, with seven football national titles sprinkled over five decades, is one of the very few programs that sets out each fall with the expectation and legitimate goal of pursuing the national crown. That pursuit rates as a lot more than just talk around Norman. The aura is unmistakable, and it radiates from real and repeated success on college football’s biggest stage. Oklahoma’s seven AP national championships rank as third most nationally, behind only Alabama (12) and Notre Dame (8). The Sooners, under Bob Stoops, earned the program’s most recent title in 2000 with an Orange Bowl victory over Florida State to cap a 13-0 season. OU’s other championships came under Barry Switzer in 1974, 1975 and 1985, and Bud Wilkinson in 1950, 1955 and 1956.

Oklahoma played for the national title four times during Stoops’ tenure (2000, 2003, 2004, 2008). During the BCS era, the Sooners were the only team to play in all five BCS bowl games and played in nine total. OU was ranked No. 1 in 20 BCS rankings — the most nationally. Until 2022, the Sooners were also the only Big 12 program to appear in the College Football Playoff, playing in the Orange Bowl (2015 season) along with the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl and Peach Bowl (2017, ’18 and ’19 seasons, respectively). OU also hosted a 2025 CFP game. In the words of Switzer: “People don't know what it means to be champions. Oklahoma invented it.”

Sooners Lead Nation in Conference Titles

Oklahoma won its first conference championship in 1915 and has since tacked on another 49. In other words, the Sooners average a conference title just about every two seasons. That pace has actually improved since 2000 with 14 league crowns in 26 years.

Fast Facts u Oklahoma's 14 conference championships since

46 45

the 2000 season are three more titles than the Power Four program with the next most (Ohio State; 11). The programs with the third most (Alabama, Clemson and Oregon) have won nine.

u Since 2000, OU has won just three fewer conference

LAST 11 YEARS: 5 COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF APPEARANCES, PLUS SUGAR, COTTON AND MORE Fifty-nine bowl appearances and 31 bowl victories have firmly entrenched Oklahoma among the most tradition-rich schools in America. The Sooners have become synonymous with postseason play at the highest level. At a school where the bowl history is laced with games of historical significance, the last several years have represented another fabulous roll for the Schooner. OU enjoys favored status among the bowl community, mostly for its tradition, but also for its robust fan following. Regardless of the location, Sooner fans flock to follow a bowl tradition that is as fresh as it is historic. The Sooners have made 27 consecutive bowl appearances, the second-longest active streak in the nation as recognized by the NCAA. Of those 27 showings, four were national championship bouts, nine were BCS bowl games, five were College Football Playoff semifinals contests and 13 were in January. The Sooners and their fans have enjoyed trips to Phoenix, San Diego, Miami, Pasadena, New Orleans, Atlanta, Dallas, San Antonio and Orlando while playing in the most prestigious bowls in college football.

OU's Seven Heisman Trophy Winners Are Nation's Second Most For many years, college football has paused at the end of each season to recognize its finest players. The award names like Heisman, Outland, Thorpe, Mackey and Butkus are woven into the fabric of the game as a tribute to the past and a beacon for the present. The awards ceremonies attract the greatest names in the game, and of course, they attract and honor Oklahoma Sooners. The road to the bright lights, podium and acceptance speech starts with great talent and hard work, common staples at OU. The Sooner program then provides the national stage on which players can be seen. The result has been an impressive collection of hardware. Oklahoma has produced four Heisman Trophy winners in the last 23 years. Only four other programs have produced four winners ever. When Baker Mayfield (2017) and Kyler Murray (2018) gave OU back-to-back Heisman winners, the Sooners became the only program in college football history to have different quarterbacks win the Heisman Trophy in consecutive seasons.

Nation-Leading 10 Heisman Finalists Since 2000 Not only do the Sooners rank second with seven Heisman Trophy winners, they have constantly appeared on Heisman voters' ballots. Oklahoma has sent a nation-leading 10 finalists to New York City since 2000 (Alabama is next with nine): Josh Heupel (2000), Jason White (2003 and 2004), Adrian Peterson (2004), Sam Bradford (2008), Dede Westbrook (2016), Baker Mayfield (2016 and 2017), Kyler Murray (2018) and Jalen Hurts (2019). It is the only program to ever produce five finalists over a four-year span (2016-19). The Sooners have also had multiple players invited to the Heisman ceremony on two different occasions — the only program in the country to accomplish the feat since 1982.

If it’s a college football season, the likelihood is that more than one Sooner ranks among the best players in the land. That was true in 1913 when OU produced its first All-American and it’s true today when the rate of additions is so rapid that the total now well outnumbers the age of the program itself.

MARQUISE BROWN

One of college football’s greatest programs has been built by some of college football’s finest players. That’s the natural result when talent meets coaching at a program with eye-popping facilities and great visibility.

SEC's Consensus All-America Leaders University of Oklahoma players have earned consensus All-America honors 83 times in the program’s history. That's second most among SEC programs (Alabama; 87). What is a consensus All-American? The NCAA officially recognizes selections from five All-America teams: AP, AFCA, FWAA, Sporting News and Walter Camp. A player is designated a consensus All-American if he is a firstteam selection on at least three of the five teams. In 2017 alone, Mark Andrews, Orlando Brown and Baker Mayfield added their names to the prestigious list as they earned first-team All-America honors from all five official bodies, leading the nation.

Elite Program Prepares Players for Next Level The league. Pro ball. The next level. It is the dream of every college football player. It is reality for many Oklahoma Sooners. Few programs in the country attract talent and prepare it to move on better than OU. Seven Sooners were tabbed in the 2026 NFL Draft to extend the program's tally to 128 selections since 2000. Oklahoma employs a rigorous strength and conditioning program that is so effective that many of those who have gone on to professional careers come back to Norman in the offseason to continue their training. OU is one of only five programs that has produced at least four NFL Draft picks in at least 17 of the last 19 years. Players with the ability and drive to make the NFL flourish at OU and leave campus equipped to play beyond their college days.

Writers and broadcasters representing the nation’s most recognized media outlets regularly interact with OU players and coaches, and routinely spend time in Norman. When they can’t come to campus, those same observers keep tabs on OU thanks to extensive television coverage. In 2025, all 13 Oklahoma games were carried live nationally on the ABC/ ESPN family of networks.

167 Consecutive Home Sellouts Fan support is guaranteed at Oklahoma. Since 1999, the Sooners have drawn 12,526,730 fans to Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, with all 167 of their regularly scheduled home games resulting in sellouts (an additional game in 2021 vs. Tulane was moved to Norman due to Hurricane Ida). It is the second-longest current home sellout streak in the nation, trailing only Nebraska. OU has nearly been unbeatable at home, yielding 150 wins in those 167 contests. The thrilling victories have stoked Sooner Nation and helped lead to the expansion of OU’s stadium by more than 11,000 seats. Even so, attendance exceeded the listed capacity in 90 consecutive games prior to 2020 when capacity was limited to 22,700 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2016, Oklahoma fans set a record for average season attendance (86,857) and broke the single-game mark with 87,979 fans against Ohio State. That mark was topped in 2017 versus TCU (88,308). The top 20 seasons for OU home attendance have taken place since the start of the 21st century.

SELLOUT STREAK

Oklahoma has sold out every home game since the start of the 1999 season. During that span, OU has won just three fewer conference championships (14) than it has lost home contests (17).

OU-TEXAS WEEKEND 7 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS • 50 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS • 59 BOWL APPEARANCES

Annual October Matchup in Dallas

The Tunnel Experience

The Oklahoma-Texas game, played each season at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, a location approximately halfway between the two campuses, is one of the country’s most spectacular sporting events.

“From the top of The Tunnel that leads into the floor of the Cotton Bowl it looks like no big deal. All you can see is end zone. Then you start running and the world explodes around you. Your eardrums are pounded by the screams of 75,587 people and the blasts of the modified 12-gauge shotguns that the OU Ruf/Nek spirit group carries...

Staged during the State Fair of Texas, the contest is witnessed by a crowd perfectly defined by color — half crimson, half burnt orange — in an atmosphere that is arguably more unique than that found at any other game. This rivalry is one that marks time and gives players and fans alike experiences for a lifetime.

Red River Rivalry Staying at Cotton Bowl Through 2036

“You feel the world shake and start to understand why every Longhorn or Sooner who has taken these steps before you can never seem to find the exact words necessary to convey what has just happened. “You’ve just run down the tunnel at the OU-Texas game — generally regarded as one of the greatest moments a college football player can experience.”

– ESPN.com

In December 2023, the universities of Oklahoma and Texas agreed to a contract extension that will keep the historic Allstate Red River Rivalry football game at the Cotton Bowl through 2036. In addition to the Dallas Sports Commission and Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District increasing the game fees paid to each school, as part of the agreement, the City of Dallas agreed to make the single largest investment in the Cotton Bowl Stadium's history; an estimated $140-million, two-year renovation project that honors the Cotton Bowl Stadium's celebrated legacy and distinctive architecture with sweeping enhancements, elevating the fan experience. “The relationship between the storied Allstate Red River Rivalry and the venerable Cotton Bowl is one-of-kind regardless of sport,” said OU Vice President and Director of Athletics Joe Castiglione at the time of the announcement. “Our new agreement guarantees this historic legacy of the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas at the State Fair of Texas will stretch into a second century. Millions of fans throughout the years have cheered, in-person, for the Sooners or Longhorns on what's become almost sacred ground. It only makes sense for us to do all we can with our partners to keep that tradition alive but also continue to improve upon the experience and access for our fans. The stadium renovations will be extensive, and we can't wait for our fans to experience the enhancements.”

STUNNING STADIUM 7 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS • 50 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS • 59 BOWL APPEARANCES

Palace on the Prairie The University of Oklahoma Board of Regents approved a proposal from OU Athletics on June 25, 2014, to proceed with the development of plans and projects for a major renovation and modernization of Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

The seating bowl features an expanded concourse, additional restrooms and concessions, and other amenities. The structure also houses 22 suites, 60 open-air loge boxes and 1,976 club seats, and includes two fresh club options for patrons.

The first phase of the building project was completed prior to the 2016 season and focused on the south end zone.

The renovated team portion of the facility allows for all studentathlete services to be moved to the ground floor. That space includes a locker room, large strength and conditioning area, training room, nutrition center, meeting rooms and an elite recovery area.

The most visible aspect was the completion of the south end zone seating bowl, a feature that initially increased stadium capacity to more than 83,000. A new 50-by-170-foot video board — the nation's second largest — was also installed.

The weight room nearly tripled in size to 26,600 square feet and features a 70-yard indoor turfed speed and agility training area. The athletic training room also grew substantially to nearly 10,000 square feet. A 2,356-square-foot north video board was added in 2018.

Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium Turned 100 in 2024

1982

Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, one of America’s most recognized college football cathedrals, celebrated its 100th season in 2024. Situated on the east side of the Norman campus, this historical facility is the largest sports arena in the state and ranks among the 20 largest on-campus facilities in the nation. Memorial Stadium’s rich heritage has not hindered its evolution, a neverending growth fueled by the football program’s overwhelming popularity. Almost since its inception, the stadium has been a work in progress. That fact holds true today. Using bond money and generous contributions, the stadium has recently undergone a number of changes (see pages 34-35 for information on the latest renovations). Capacity for the "Palace on the Prairie" peaked at 83,489 from 2016-18 following the enclosing of the south end zone stands and addition of premium seating in that area. Due to the widening of stadium aisles and addition of handrails, capacity dropped to its current 80,126 figure prior to the 2019 season. In 1921, OU students started a movement for construction of a student union, and soon the idea had grown to feature a combined football stadium/union. In the original architect's drawings, the north end of the proposed structure was strikingly similar to the present Oklahoma Memorial Union, but the stadium and union were eventually built separately.

The first game played at the current stadium site, called Owen Field and named after former head coach and athletics director Bennie Owen, took place Oct. 20, 1923 (a 63-7 win over Washington, Mo.), before stadium construction began. On Oct. 17, 1925, the first contest was played in front of the new 16,000-seat stands on the west side of the field, a 7-0 victory over Drake in which Roy "Goat" Lamb scored the game's only touchdown on a 2-yard run in muddy conditions. Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, named in honor of University personnel who died in World War I, was erected at a cost of approximately $293,000 and dedicated on Nov. 7, 1925, during OU's game against Kansas. East-side stadium stands were added prior to the 1929 season. That addition increased seating capacity to 32,000, where it stood for 20 years. In 1949, OU president George L. Cross pushed for expansion and the result was a six-foot lowering of the old playing surface and the elimination of a running track that surrounded the playing area. The changes produced 7,000 new ringside seats and brought capacity to 55,000. The north end of the stadium also was enclosed. In 1957, green grandstand bleachers were added to the south end of the field, enabling the stadium to hold 61,836 fans. In July, 1970 the original natural grass surface was removed and artificial turf was installed. That tartan turf was replaced with super turf before the 1981 season. Owen Field returned to grass in 1994.

2016

1975 brought the addition of a west upper deck and new press box. Another 8,436 seats were added at a cost of $5,726,345, upping capacity during that national championship season to 71,187.

The summer of 2003 saw a venture that added 8,000 seats thanks to an upper deck and 27 suites on the east side, bringing the total number of suites to 63. Another phase of that project stretched into 2004 when renovations to the Santee Lounge, restroom and concessions facilities and a new brick facade on the west side were completed.

Before the 1980 campaign, the old green south end zone bleachers were replaced with a new facility. In addition to improved seating, the complex included coaches’ offices, weight room, meeting rooms, a training room, equipment room and two locker rooms. The addition brought stadium capacity to 75,004. A Stadium Master Plan was approved by the OU Board of Regents in June 1994, and construction of nine west-side suites began in April 1995. Subsequent improvements included the installation of stadium lights to allow night games, a new scoreboard and a video screen. Capacity was decreased to 72,765 in 1998 to provide more wheelchair seating.

Barry Switzer Center renovations were completed prior to the 2009 season. The players' locker room was expanded and remodeled while a 950-square foot hydrotherapy area and a new 4,000-square-foot Red Room with seating for 211 was built. A$4.5 million, 3,689-square-foot HD video board was added atop the south end zone in 2008. OU owns a sparkling 429-90-15 (.817) all-time record at Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium and has faced 101 opponents there.

u Taking the classroom across the globe, members of the Sooner football program stand inside the ancient Roman amphitheater of Itálica near Sevilla, Spain, during

OU’s May 2026 “Intercultural Relations” study abroad program. From walking through centuries of history and experiencing Spanish culture firsthand to engaging with local communities through service, the Sooners immersed themselves in opportunities designed to expand their worldview, strengthen their intercultural understanding and develop skills that reach far beyond the football field.

Sooners Excel On and Off Field

Oklahoma Football exemplifies a commitment to excellence both on and off the field. The team earned a 3.03 cumulative GPA during the fall 2025 semester and followed with a 3.05 mark in spring 2026. During the spring term, 13 football student-athletes earned a perfect 4.0 GPA, 32 earned a 3.5 or higher and 68 earned at least a 3.0. In 2008, along with leading the Oklahoma offense to the NCAA record for most points scored in a single season, quarterback Sam Bradford and running back DeMarco Murray were named CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. Brian Lepak became the third Sooner in as many years to garner the honor when he was named to the team in 2010. Gabe Ikard followed as a three-time Academic All-American in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Ty Darlington continued the Sooners' recent streak of Academic All-Americans in 2014 and 2015 when he became the 18th OU studentathlete to earn Academic All-America honors twice in a career. He also became OU's first recipient of the William V. Campbell Trophy, given to the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation. Quarterback Connor McGinnis (2019) and safety Pat Fields (2020 and '21) were also named Academic All-Americans.

Study Abroad – Sooners Around the Globe Since 2003, OU Athletics has expanded international education opportunities designed around the unique schedules of student-athletes. The first two dedicated programs launched in 2011, and since then more than 450 OU student-athletes have studied or interned abroad in 12 countries. OU Football offers annual study abroad opportunities during March and May, with destinations including Brazil, South Africa, Spain, Italy and Mexico, and plans for continued expansion. Designed for student-athletes, these programs provide an innovative way to earn academic credit while experiencing the world beyond the classroom and playing field. Through service, community engagement and cultural immersion, players explore intercultural relations, international politics, human rights, health and exercise science, history and artistic expression, broadening student-athletes’ worldviews, deepening their sense of purpose and developing the cultural awareness, confidence and leadership skills needed to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.

SOONERS SERVE 7 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS • 50 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS • 59 BOWL APPEARANCES

Taking an Active Community Role OU lives by a clear and strong motto as it interacts with its studentathletes…Inspiring Champions for Today, Preparing Leaders for Tomorrow. As part of that promise, the Athletics Department and the football program take an active role in a number of community service projects. Oklahoma’s student-athletes recognize that wearing the Crimson and Cream means representing a popular sports program and themselves as individuals. They are encouraged to respond to a public that adores them, while learning important lessons about making a positive impact in the lives of others in and around the community in which they live.

Sooners Regularly Recognized for Service Oklahoma’s student-athletes are as visible off the field as they are when competing for the Sooners. Their significant community service efforts have been recognized not only on the local scene where they have the most impact, but also by national organizations that recognize the scope of OU’s outreach. No player embodied the Sooner spirit better than Quinton Carter, who was named the recipient of the seventh annual Wooden Citizenship Cup in 2011. The award is presented annually by the Atlanta-based Athletes For a Better World. The award honored Carter who started his own foundation, the SOUL Foundation, while at OU. The Las Vegas native also adopted a class at Norman’s KinderCare while volunteering for a multitude of other causes. Players from Oklahoma’s football team have also been named to the American Football Coaches Association’s Good Works Team, an honor reserved for individuals who excel in their service to others. Jacob Gutierrez was named to the team in 2006, Nic Harris in 2007, Gerald McCoy in 2008, Carter in 2010, Caleb Kelly in 2018, Chanse Sylvie in 2020, Ethan Downs in 2023 and Gavin Sawchuk in 2024. In 2025, Brent Venables became OU’s first honorary head coach named to the squad. Gutierrez, who in 2005 was named the Norman Youth Citizen Volunteer of the Year, also was named a finalist for the Wooden Cup. Then, in 2006, Carl Pendleton was tabbed a finalist for the Wooden Cup, as was Ty Darlington in 2015. Subsequently, Pendleton received postgraduate scholarships from the NCAA and the National Football Foundation, while also being named Big 12 Conference Sportsman of the Year. In addition, Pendleton won the Bobby Bowden Award, the highest student-athlete honor presented by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Darlington also won the Bowden Award and the Wuerffel Trophy in 2015. The Wuerffel Trophy is awarded to the FBS player who best exhibits exemplary community service. Fellow OU center Gabe Ikard also won the national honor in 2013, while safety Pat Fields was one of three 2021 finalists. Fields was also a 2021 finalist for the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year award, presented to the student-athlete who exhibits exemplary leadership on and off the field.

SOUL MISSION 93 NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS • 169 ALL-AMERICANS • 7 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS

"SERVE OUR UNCOMMON LEGACY" Almost immediately after being hired as Oklahoma's 23rd head coach in December 2021, Brent Venables went to work on formulating SOUL Mission, a comprehensive in-house player development program. The "SOUL" in SOUL Mission stands for "Serve Our Uncommon Legacy." The program's goal is to create first-class, impactful student-athletes and prepare them to be servant leaders and sustain a lifestyle of winning. Five SOUL Mission pillars target every facet of off-the-field enhancement of OU's football student-athletes: personal finance, community engagement, life skills development, career and professional development, and former player relations. "For me, I was like 'That's got to be the backbone of the program,'" Venables said upon revealing the program. "Because if you make it all about winning and chasing championships, that's going to be a very empty, unfulfilling journey. We have an opportunity to have some generational change if we can keep the main thing the main thing. That's equipping these young people and pouring life into them; making sure that we're not just asking the right questions but putting the right resources and people where they need to be." SOUL Mission is led by senior director Josh Norman, director Vince Carter and assistant director Lorenda Holston. Norman (running back/receiver) and Carter (All-America center) are former OU football players, while Holston was a Mountain West Conference track-and-field champion at Colorado State. An impactful component of SOUL Mission is an annual service trip. The inaugural five-day version took place in May 2022, as 24 student-athletes traveled to Miami Gardens, Fla., for a "Social Change Process" human relations remote study course. OU's contingent explored the challenges faced by communities and the positive and proactive action being taken by educators, administrators and community leaders to build a stronger and safer environment for students. The Sooners also took part in a full-service Scott Lake Elementary School beautification project that included painting, landscaping and renovating the science lab. In May 2023, as part of the university's HR 4170 course "Reflection of Apartheid in South Africa," JOSH NORMAN 17 members of the OU football team traveled to South Africa to gain firsthand knowledge of the history of apartheid and the process of a country healing. During the in-country experience, the players visited historic sites related to apartheid, worked with experts in the field of creating social cohesion and conducted service-learning projects to help meet the physical needs of the communities. In spring 2024, a group of OU student-athletes VINCE CARTER returned to South Africa and two other SOUL Mission player contingents participated in service trips in Brazil and Hawaii. In 2025, members of the Sooner football and volleyball programs traveled to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, participating in the OU international course “Human Relations in Developing Countries” and pouring themselves into the local community. And in 2026, players participated in spring and summer service trips to Brazil and Spain. LORENDA HOLSTON

In 1870, the United States Land Office contracted with a professional engineer to survey much of Oklahoma territory. Abner E. Norman, a young surveyor, became chainman of the central survey area in Indian Territory. The surveyor’s crew burned the words “Norman's Camp” into an elm tree near a watering hole to taunt their younger supervisor. When the “Sooners” (those who headed west before the official Land Run date, April 22, 1889) and the other settlers arrived in the heart of Oklahoma, they kept the name “Norman.” Today, with 130,000 residents, Norman is the third largest city in the state. Despite its continuous growth, it has maintained the spirit and serenity of a small, close-knit community.

southeastern CONFERENCE 93 NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS • 169 ALL-AMERICANS • 7 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS

2026-27 MARKS OKLAHOMA'S THIRD YEAR IN SEC A pioneer in the integration of higher education and athletics competition, the Southeastern Conference is a leader on the national landscape for intercollegiate athletics in the 21st century. Since its formation in 1933, the SEC has achieved stature and stability by designating governing/voting power to the presidents of the member institutions. These university leaders determine the policies of the conference and through the years this involvement has been the principal source of strength in the evolution of the SEC. Throughout its 93-year history, the SEC has provided leadership on the vital issues facing intercollegiate competition.

Alabama

Sooners lead 5-3-1, have won five of last seven matchups.

Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt have been in the SEC since its formation in 1933. The league has expanded three times, adding Arkansas and South Carolina in 1991, then Missouri and Texas A&M in 2012, then Oklahoma and Texas on July 1, 2024.

Arkansas

OU leads 10-4-1; schools haven't met on campus since 1926.

Auburn

SEC schools began athletic competition with one another more than 120 years ago as members of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Seven institutions (Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Sewanee and Vanderbilt) attended the SIAA organizational meeting of faculty representatives, called by Dr. William L. Dudley of Vanderbilt, in Atlanta Dec. 22, 1894.

OU is 4-0; won two Sugar Bowls and each of last two years.

Florida

UF won 2009 BCS Championship, OU 2020 Cotton Bowl.

The first SEC champions were crowned in 1933 in baseball, basketball, football and outdoor track. The league’s inaugural championship event was a basketball tournament in Atlanta, Feb. 24-28, 1933. Records show the first men’s team title for cross country was awarded in 1935, while golf and swimming were added in 1937. The league later began hosting championships in tennis (1938) and indoor track (1957).

Georgia

UGA won only meeting in OT (2018 CFP Semis at Rose Bowl).

FOCUSED AND TOGETHER

Sooners ready to build on 2025 College Football Playoff appearance with experienced units in all three phases

OFFENSE

QUARTERBACKS (4)

As Oklahoma looks to build on its 2025 success that produced its first College Football Playoff appearance in six years, the Sooners are poised to make further strides on offense in 2026. Second-year offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle is assisted by longtime offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh, in his 14th season with the Sooners, fourth-year wide receivers coach Emmett Jones and new hires in accomplished running backs coach Deland McCullough and tight ends coach Jason Witten, a former 17-year NFL tight end and 11-time Pro Bowler. Former OU offensive analysts Kevin Wilson, a longtime college offensive coordinator and former head coach, and John Kuceyeski, who was quarterbacks coach at Washington State in 2024, were promoted to assistant head coach for offense and quarterbacks coach, respectively, in the offseason. Quarterback John Mateer, who completed 62% of his passes for 2,885 yards and totaled 22 touchdowns (14 passing and eight rushing) in 12 games last year, returns for his final season. OU looks to make particular improvement in the running game and should be helped by the return of junior Xavier Robinson and sophomore Tory Blaylock, who accounted for 902 of the team’s 1,540 rushing yards last season. Counting Mateer’s 431 rushing yards, the trio combined for 1,333 yards on the ground in 2025. Primary wide receiver target Isaiah Sategna III, who registered 67 receptions for 965 yards and eight touchdowns (ranked third in the SEC in yards and touchdowns), was a first-team AP All-SEC selection. He is the only returning wide receiver with at least 10 catches last season, but proven newcomers Trell Harris (Virginia) and Parker Livingstone (Texas) are expected to help immediately. Five newcomers at tight end look to help bolster the blocking and pass-catching at the position. On the offensive line, the Sooners must replace two-year starter Febechi Nwaiwu at right guard (26 starts over two seasons) and Derek Simmons at right tackle (eight starts last year), but return five players who have combined to make 62 career starts, including 39 starts last season. That group includes center Jake Maikkula (26 career starts), guards Heath Ozaeta (15 starts) and Eddy Pierre-Louis (six starts), guard/tackle Ryan Fodje (six starts) and tackle Michael Fasusi (10 starts).

DEFENSE

Oklahoma boasted one of the absolute best defensive units in the country last season on its way to the College Football Playoff. The Sooners ranked first nationally in sacks (3.5 per game) and tackles for loss (9.4 per contest), third in rushing defense (77.3 yards per game) and opponent third-down conversion rate (28.2%), sixth in total defense (272.5 yards per game), seventh in scoring defense (15.5 points per game) and 32nd in passing defense (195.2 yards per game). OU also ranked 10th nationally with its three defensive touchdowns. The performance further cemented head coach Brent Venables as one of the premier defensive play-callers in the nation. Associate head coach and co-defensive coordinator Todd Bates (defensive tackles, run defense), defensive ends coach Miguel Chavis and safeties coach Brandon Hall are in their fifth seasons at OU, providing coaching consistency on the front and back lines of the defense. Inside linebackers coach Nate Dreiling and assistant linebackers/outside linebackers coach Wes Goodwin return for their second seasons on staff, while new cornerbacks coach LaMar Morgan is in his first year after joining the staff in February from Michigan and former four-year analyst Xavier Brewer is in his first season as assistant secondary coach. Even with the loss of All-America and All-SEC First Team defensive end R Mason Thomas, All-SEC Second Team defensive tackle Gracen Halton, linebacker Kendal Daniels and safety Robert Spears-Jennings to the NFL, Oklahoma figures to be stout on defense again in 2026. The Sooners return 10 of their top 17 tacklers from last season, including linebackers Kip Lewis (30 career starts) and Owen Heinecke (five starts), who ranked first and second on the team in tackles last year. Including defensive backs Peyton Bowen (20 career starts), Eli Bowen (17 career starts), Courtland Guillory

Oklahoma returns all four major players in the kicking game from last season, including reigning Lou Groza Award winner Tate Sandell and first-team AllSEC punter Grayson Miller. Three-year standout long snapper Ben Anderson and holder Jacob Ulrich are also back, providing valuable consistency for the special teams units.

After adding 63 new players in 2023, 52 newcomers in 2024, and 45 in 2025, Oklahoma welcomes 43 newcomers for 2026, Brent Venables' fifth season as head coach. Entering 2026, 39% of OU's roster is comprised of first-year Sooners, down from 40% in 2025, 43% in 2024 and 51% in 2023. That means the Sooners have more players with OU experience than in the previous three campaigns. Thirty-five of the Sooners' 110 players have spent at least two years at Oklahoma, while another 32 are entering their second season in Norman.

QUICK LOOK AT 2026

Oklahoma returns more than 90% of its offensive production from 2025 in rushing yards (90%), passing yards (96%) and total offense (93%), while 78% of its scoring is back for this season. Conversely, OU returns just 43% of its receiving yards from last season. On the offensive line, five returners made at least six starts in 2025 and have made 63 career starts among them. Between returning players and transfers, six offensive linemen have combined for 71 career starts. Defensively, the Sooners return at least half of their production in tackles (58%), tackles for loss (55%), sacks (59%), interceptions (78%), pass breakups (67%), QB hurries (54%) and forced fumbles (50%). Six defensive players started at least six games last season and those players have compiled 102 career starts, all at OU. Oklahoma also returns its four key players in the kicking game: 2025 Lou Groza Award winner Tate Sandell at kicker, punter Grayson Miller, long snapper Ben Anderson and holder/punter Jacob Ulrich.

RETURNING ALL-CONFERENCE HONOREES The Sooners return eight of their 12 players who earned 2025 All-SEC honors from the coaches and/or AP. Placekicker Tate Sandell was a first-team All-SEC selection and All-American who became OU's first-ever winner of the Lou Groza Award. Punter Grayson Miller also earned first-team All-SEC recognition by setting a single-season school record with his 24 punts of 50 or more yards. Wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III was a first-team All-SEC selection by the AP and second-team pick as both a wide receiver and all-purpose player by the coaches. Long snapper Ben Anderson, defensive back Peyton Bowen and defensive lineman Taylor Wein were second-team All-SEC selections by the coaches, while linebacker Owen Heinecke was named a secondteam all-league player by the AP. Cornerback Eli Bowen earned third-team All-SEC recognition from coaches.

NEW COACHES

The 2026 Oklahoma coaching staff features five new assistant coaches, four on offense and one on defense. In January, the Sooners brought in former All-Pro and 17-year NFL tight end Jason Witten as tight ends coach, and in February hired Deland McCullough as running backs coach and LaMar Morgan as cornerbacks coach, filling open positions on the staff. OU also promoted former offensive analyst John Kuceyeski to quarterbacks coach and longtime college offensive coordinator and former head coach Kevin Wilson to assistant head coach for offense. An OU offensive analyst last season, Wilson served as the Sooners' offensive coordinator from 2002-10 under former head coach Bob Stoops. Former defensive analyst Xavier Brewer was also promoted to assistant secondary coach.

ANOTHER SCHEDULE GAUNTLET 23 22 21 20 19 19

Oklahoma will play the second-toughest schedule in college football during the 2026 season, according to ESPN’s College Football Power Index rankings (only Arkansas' schedule is rated as more difficult). Last summer, OU's schedule was rated as the most difficult in the nation entering the 2025 campaign. The Sooners will host six games at Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, play five true road

2026 OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL

games and the annual Red River Rivalry clash against Texas at Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas. Six of OU's 2026 opponents are in the preseason AP Top 25 (No. 3 Georgia, No. 5 Texas, No. 8 Texas A&M, No. 9 Ole Miss, No. 16 Michigan and No. 25 Missouri), and three more received votes (Florida, South Carolina and New Mexico). OU's three non-conference games will be Sept. 4 vs. UTEP (Friday night), Sept. 12 at Michigan and Sept. 19 vs. New Mexico. For the first time in its three seasons as a member of the SEC, Oklahoma will open conference play on the road, traveling to Georgia on Sept. 26. Following an open week, OU will travel to Dallas to meet Texas on Oct. 10. The Sooners will alternate road and home games the next five weeks, hosting Kentucky on Oct. 17, traveling to Mississippi State on Oct. 24, hosting South Carolina on Oct. 31, visiting Florida on Nov. 7 and hosting Ole Miss for the second straight year on Nov. 14. OU will close the regular season by hosting Texas A&M on No. 21 and visiting Missouri on Nov. 28. Oklahoma has a 169-121-13 all-time record against the league's current member schools.

HOME IS WHERE THE "W" IS

Oklahoma has won nearly as many conference championships over the last 27 years (14) as it has lost home games. The Sooners are 151-17 (.899) at Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium since the start of the 1999 season. It is the nation's second-best home winning percentage over the last 27 seasons (Boise State; .906). OU has outscored its opponents by an average of 42-18 in those games. The Sooners have posted 167 straight sellouts of originally scheduled home games dating back to the start of the 1999 season. Only Nebraska has a longer current streak nationally.

SEVEN PLAYERS SELECTED IN NFL DRAFT

For the 31st straight year and 56th time in the last 57 years, OU had at least two players selected in the NFL Draft. Seven Sooners were picked in April, led by defensive lineman R Mason Thomas, who was the second round choice of the Kansas City Chiefs. Offensive lineman Febechi Nwaiwu (Houston Texans), defensive lineman Gracen Halton (San Francisco 49ers) and linebacker Kendal Daniels (Atlanta Falcons) were selected in the fourth round. Defensive back Robert Spears-Jennings (Pittsburgh Steelers), tight end Jaren Kanak (Tennessee Titans) and wide receiver Deion Burks (Indianapolis Colts) were picked in the seventh round. Oklahoma's seven overall selections in this year's draft tied for the program's most since 2019. OU has produced at least three NFL draftees 23 times in the last 24 years (only LSU and Ohio State have produced three or more picks in each of the last 24 drafts).

EXTRA POINTS

u Oklahoma led the SEC in 2026 in points allowed (15.5 ppg), yards allowed (272.5 ypg), rushing yards allowed (77.3 ypg), passing defense efficiency rating (115.8), sacks per game (3.5; led nation), tackles for loss per game (9.4; led nation) and first downs allowed (194). u Oklahoma won six straight Big 12 championships from

2015-20, giving it a nation-leading 50 conference titles. Nebraska ranks second with 46 and Michigan third with 45. OU's 14 league titles since 2000 are three more than the Power Five program with the next most (Ohio State has 11 while Alabama, Clemson and Oregon have nine).

u Oklahoma has appeared in a bowl game in 27

consecutive seasons. It is the second-longest streak in the nation (Georgia; 29). The last time OU did not appear in a bowl contest was 1998.

u Since the start of the 1999 season (Bob Stoops' first as

head coach), the Sooners rank fourth among all Power Four programs in wins (278; 13 fewer than Ohio State, four fewer than Alabama and one fewer than Georgia). During the same span, OU leads the nation in points per game (37.7).

The 2025 Sooners finished 10-3 overall — their second 10-win campaign under Venables — and advanced to the program’s fifth College Football Playoff (first since 2019), earning the No. 8 seed and first-round hosting honors. OU’s defense, under the direction of Venables as play-caller, was one of the nation’s best. The Sooners ranked sixth in the country in yards allowed per game (272.5) and seventh in points allowed per outing (15.5). They also led the nation in tackles for loss per game (9.4) and sacks per contest (3.5). Additionally, Tate Sandell became the first OU recipient of the Lou Groza Award as the nation’s top placekicker. Venables also led the 2023 team to a 10-3 mark and second-place Big 12 finish (7-2). OU ranked first nationally in defensive interceptions per game (1.5), third in total offense (507.0 ypg) and fourth in scoring offense (41.7 ppg). The 55-year-old Venables has produced 17 NFL Draft picks since becoming Oklahoma’s head coach, including 10 offensive players. OU’s seven draft selections in 2026 were tied for the program’s most since 2019. Venables served as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Oklahoma from 1999-2003 and as associate head coach, defensive coordinator and linebackers coach from 2004-11 under former head coach Bob Stoops. Venables has coached in eight national championship games between his time at OU and Clemson, winning titles with the Sooners in 2000 and Tigers in 2016 and 2018.

Venables’ teams produced 26 winning seasons, won 13 conference titles, went to 30 bowl games (including four College Football Playoff National Championship games) and won at least 10 games 22 times. After joining Clemson prior to the 2012 season, Venables constructed one of the nation’s top defenses. From 2012-2021, the Tigers ranked first nationally in sacks (445; next most was 392) and opponent third-down conversion percentage (30.2), second in opponent pass efficiency rating (111.1) and takeaways (244; tied), third in scoring defense (17.8 ppg) and opponent completion percentage (53.3), fourth in total defense (311.4 ypg) and pass defense (190.5 ypg), fifth in interceptions (148) and sixth in rushing defense (120.9 ypg).

THE VENABLES FAMILY

As a defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, Venables produced winners of three Butkus Awards (OU’s Rocky Calmus in 2001 and Teddy Lehman in 2003, and CU’s Isaiah Simmons in 2019), two Nagurski Awards (OU’s Roy Williams in 2001 and Derrick Strait in 2003), two Thorpe Awards (Williams in 2001 and Strait in 2003) and one Bednarik Award (Lehman in 2003). And in 2018, Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins became the school’s first winner of William V. Campbell Trophy, also known as the “Academic Heisman.” Venables has received national accolades for his coaching and recruiting, including the Frank Broyles Award in 2016 as the nation’s top assistant coach after being a finalist in 2015. He was FootballScoop’s Defensive Coordinator of the Year in 2014 and Rivals. com’s Recruiter of the Year in 2015. Venables’ defensive units were remarkably consistent during his 10 years with the Tigers. Each of his last eight Clemson defenses ranked in the top 15 nationally in yards allowed and seven of the last eight ranked in the top 20 in points allowed. Over his last eight years there, his units ranked first (in 2014), 10th, eighth, fourth, fifth, sixth, 15th and ninth (in 2021) in total defense. Additionally, his units ranked first or second in the ACC in total defense each of his last eight years (ranked first in six of those seasons). Under Venables’ tutelage in 2021, Clemson ranked second nationally in scoring defense (15.0 ppg) and red zone defense (62.1 conversion percentage), fourth

SOONERSPORTS.COM

in sacks (3.4 per game), eighth in rushing defense (98.8 ypg) and ninth in total defense (308.4 ypg). Venables’ 2020 Clemson defense tied for the national lead with 46 sacks, despite no player producing more than 4.5 individually. His 2019 unit allowed fewer than 300 yards of total offense in each of its first 12 games, the first defense nationally since at least 1996 to accomplish that feat. Clemson held 16 straight foes to 20 or fewer points across the 2018-19 seasons, the school’s longest streak since the 1937-40 campaigns. Clemson’s 2018 squad led the nation in scoring defense (13.1 ppg) for the first time in school history and set a program record by recording 54 sacks. Venables’ Clemson defenses ranked among the top 10 nationally in sacks each year from 2014-21 and ranked in the top 10 in tackles for loss from 2013-20. The units led the nation in TFLs every year from 2013-16. From 1999-2011, Venables helped OU to the 2000 national championship, three other national championship game appearances (2003, ’04 and ’08) and seven Big 12 titles. He was a finalist for the Broyles Award in 2006 when the Sooners led the Big 12 in total defense and scoring defense. Oklahoma linebackers under Venables earned three Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year awards, five Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year accolades and six first-team All-America honors. Ten of his OU linebackers — and 31 defensive players overall — were taken in the 2000-12 NFL Drafts.

@OU_FOOTBALL

While Venables was an Oklahoma assistant, the Sooners ranked among the top 16 nationally in total defense eight times (including each year from 2000-06) and among the top 20 in scoring defense eight times. OU led the Big 12 in scoring defense on four occasions (2000, ’04, ’06 and ’11) and topped the conference in total defense three times (2003, ’04, and ’06). Prior to joining Stoops’ first staff at OU, Venables coached linebackers at Kansas State (1996-98), serving as defensive running game coordinator in 1998, and was a graduate assistant at K-State under Bill Snyder from 1993-95. As a player at Kansas State (1991-92), Venables earned honorable mention All-Big Eight honors in 1992 after registering 124 tackles. He began his collegiate playing career at Garden City (Kan.) Community College (1989-90), where he earned All-America honors after recording 276 tackles and was inducted into the school’s athletics hall of fame in April 2023. A native of Salina, Kan., Venables, who exhibits a strong commitment to serving the community and was named the 2025 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team Honorary Head Coach, received his bachelor’s degree in political science from Kansas State in 1992. He and his wife Julie have four children: sons Jake and Tyler and daughters Laney and Addie.

McCullough’s ability to transition players from college systems into productive professional contributors has been a hallmark of his career. • Prior to his time in the NFL, served three seasons at Notre Dame (2022-24), where his running backs room became one of the nation’s most productive. In 2023, Audric Estimé rushed for 1,341 yards and a program-record 18 touchdowns to earn second-team All-America honors and become Notre Dame’s first AP All-America running back since 1998.

He was selected in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. • His first stint at Indiana was from 2011-16 under head coach Kevin Wilson, who now serves as OU’s assistant head coach for offense. Those six seasons remain one of the most productive rushing eras in program history, as the Hoosiers set 19 school rushing records during the stretch. McCullough tutored Tevin Coleman (2015) and Jordan Howard (2016), who became the first IU running backs drafted in consecutive years since 1990-92. Coleman rushed for a school-record 2,036 yards in 2014 and earned unanimous All-America honors. In 2015, Howard (1,213 yards) and Devine Redding (1,012 yards) became the first Indiana running back duo to eclipse 1,000 yards in the same season. McCullough was named BTN.com Running Backs Coach of the Year in 2014. • Began his collegiate coaching career at Miami (Ohio) in 2010, helping the RedHawks win a MAC Championship.

H

ead coach Brent Venables and general manager Jim Nagy and their staffs signed 24 scholarship players for the 2026 season during the December early period and added one during the February signing period. The class of 25 ranked No. 15 nationally by Rivals, No. 16 by 247Sports and No. 17 by ESPN. Of the 25 signees, 13 were ranked as four- or five-star prospects on a five-star scale by 247Sports, ESPN, Rivals or Kohl’s Kicking, while 12 others received three-star ratings. "Really excited about the depth of this class," Venables said. "We really hit all of the targets we set out to. Several of them we've been recruiting for a couple cycles now, and we really landed in a great space. We were able to get the guys we needed to come in and not only fit our locker room from a cultural and fit standpoint but also have a chance to come in and impact us right away."

All 25 signees were high school seniors, and 22 of them enrolled at OU in midJanuary. Eleven of them are offensive players (one quarterback, two running backs, four wide receivers, two tight ends and two offensive linemen), 13 are defensive players (five defensive linemen/ends, four linebackers and four defensive backs) and one is a specialist (kicker). Four players were rated as top-100 overall recruits nationally by at least one outlet (quarterback Bowe Bentley, running back Jonathan Hatton Jr., defensive end Jake Kreul and wide receiver Jayden Petit). The state of Texas produced the most OU signees with six, while Florida produced five, California three, Arizona and Indiana two each and Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma one each. "(During) my past with the Seattle Seahawks, we were really big on collecting alphas,” Nagy said. “So that's something I was really dialed into during the recruiting process — guys who were ready to come in and play. This is a developmental program and the coaches do a great job with it, but the guys have to be wired right to come in right away and be developed. We feel like we did that. We really like this group."

NORMAN — John Mateer set a record for passing yards in an Oklahoma debut and the defense allowed its fewest yards in five seasons as No. 18 OU opened the season with a 35-5 win over Illinois State at Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Mateer completed 30 of 37 passes (81%) for 392 yards and three touchdowns, breaking the previous debut-passing-yardage record of 388 set by Baker Mayfield in 2015. Mateer was only the third quarterback to attempt at least 30 passes in his OU debut, and his completion rate was the highest among that group. Mateer scored the first points of the season on a 7-yard rush near the end of the first quarter. He finished the game with 24 rushing yards on seven carries. Two of his touchdown passes went to redshirt senior transfer wide receiver Keontez Lewis, who registered a game- and career-high nine catches for 119 yards and had TD receptions of 28 and 20 yards in the fourth quarter. His nine receptions tied the school record for a player in his OU debut. Redshirt senior receiver Deion Burks caught seven passes for 88 yards and a 27-yard TD. Freshman running back Tory Blaylock rushed for a team-high 42 yards on eight carries and scored a touchdown on a 5-yard rush in the second quarter. Senior tight end Jaren Kanak, who moved from linebacker in the offseason, had five catches for 90 yards, including a 48-yarder that was the longest play of the game. Freshman defensive back Courtland Guillory became only the second OU true freshman to start at cornerback in a season opener and notched a tackle and a pass breakup. Junior linebacker Sammy Omosigho registered a team-high eight tackles and recorded his first career sack, and redshirt junior linebacker Owen Heinecke made a career-high four tackles, including his first career tackle for loss.

NORMAN — John Mateer rushed for two touchdowns and threw another and Deion Burks caught seven passes for 101 yards and a score against his home-state team to lead No. 18/24 Oklahoma to a 24-13 home win over No. 15/13 Michigan. It was just the second meeting between the storied programs (OU beat UM 14-6 in the 1976 Orange Bowl to claim the 1975 national title). Mateer completed 21 of 34 passes for 270 yards and rushed for 74 more on 19 carries. The redshirt junior tossed a 9-yard TD pass to Burks on the game’s opening possession, then scored on a 2-yard run with 22 seconds left in the half. He added a 10-yard rushing score in the third quarter to extend the lead to 21-7. Burks, a redshirt senior from Inkster, Mich., had his first 100-yard receiving game at OU. The Sooners limited the Wolverines to 288 yards of total offense, including just 142 passing. Michigan’s only touchdown came on a 75-yard rush by Justice Haynes on the first scrimmage play of the second half. OU held UM quarterback Bryce Underwood to 9-of-24 passing (37.5%) and the Wolverines offense to 3 of 14 on third downs. With Oklahoma leading 21-13 in the fourth quarter, Mateer led a 16-play, 78-yard drive that consumed 8:27 and resulted in a 21-yard field goal by Tate Sandell to push the lead to 11 points with 1:44 remaining. Senior tight end Jaren Kanak notched five receptions for the second straight game and ended with 69 receiving yards. Redshirt junior linebacker Owen Heinecke led the Sooners with seven tackles (one for loss) and added a pass breakup. Redshirt senior linebacker Kendal Daniels finished with four tackles, 2.5 of which went for lost yardage. Redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Taylor Wein made his first career start and tallied three tackles, while Michael Fasusi became the first freshman in program history to start at left tackle in his first career game.

PHILADELPHIA — Quarterback John Mateer accounted for 345 total yards and two touchdowns and freshman running back Tory Blaylock rushed for 100 yards and two TDs to lead No. 13/16 Oklahoma to a 42-3 win over Temple at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles. Mateer completed 20 of 34 passes for 282 yards and a TD and rushed for 63 yards and another score. The redshirt junior tossed a 6-yard TD pass to running back Xavier Robinson in the third quarter and on the following possession scored on a 51-yard run. Blaylock averaged 7.1 yards on his 14 carries and scored on runs of 6 and 18 yards in the second quarter. Redshirt junior wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III hauled in seven receptions for 97 yards and senior tight end Jaren Kanak made four catches for 86 yards. Senior running back Jovantae Barnes scored on a 3-yard rush on OU’s opening possession. Redshirt junior Tate Sandell was 2 for 2 on field goals, making kicks from 52 and 29 yards. The OU defense was stellar all day. The Sooners allowed just 104 total yards (their fewest since 2014) and seven first downs (fewest allowed since 2015), and forced the Owls to punt 12 times (the most by an opponent since 2015 and most in a road game since 2000). The defense also season highs of four sacks and 11 tackles for loss, and limited Temple to a 19% third-down conversion rate. Redshirt senior defensive back Kendel Dolby, playing in his first game in nearly a year after recovering from injury, logged a team-high-tying four tackles (one for loss). Sophomore Reggie Powers III and redshirt sophomore Taylor Heim also had four stops each.

NORMAN — Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer accounted for two touchdowns and the OU defense registered a school-record-tying nine sacks in a 24-17 win over No. 22 Auburn in the SEC opener for both teams. Mateer completed 24 of 36 passes for 271 yards and rushed for 29 yards and a score. He completed 16 of his last 17 attempts and each of his final 11, including all four on OU’s game-winning touchdown drive. After Auburn took a 17-16 lead, Mateer led a 6-play, 75yard drive and scored a 9-yard rushing TD to give the Sooners a 22-17 lead with 4:54 left. The defensive line was the story of the day, accounting for 7.5 of the team’s 9.0 sacks. Senior R Mason Thomas, who had to sit out the first half due to a penalty in the previous game, recorded two sacks, including one for a safety with 1:06 left in the contest. Sophomore Jayden Jackson registered a career-high 2.5 sacks, senior Gracen Halton, sophomore David Stone and redshirt sophomore Taylor Wein each recorded one sack and redshirt junior linebacker Owen Heinecke notched his first career sack. Redshirt junior wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III registered career highs of nine receptions and 127 yards, and scored OU’s first touchdown on a 24-yard second-quarter catch to give OU a 10-3 lead. The game was tied at 10 at halftime, but Oklahoma scored on a field goal in the third quarter and added another early in the fourth to go ahead 16-10. Redshirt junior kicker Tate Sandell made all three of his field goal attempts, converting from 49, 32 and 28 yards. Redshirt junior punter Grayson Miller averaged 54.4 yards on five punts. His average was the third best in single-game school history (min. five punts). Redshirt junior linebacker Kip Lewis led the Sooners with a season-high 10 tackles.

NORMAN — Quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. accounted for four touchdowns, wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III totaled 172 all-purpose yards and two TDs and No. 5 Oklahoma registered its first shutout in two seasons in a 44-0 home win over Kent State. Hawkins Jr. passed for 162 yards and three touchdowns — doubling his career total — and rushed nine times for 33 yards and a score in three quarters of work in place of injured starter John Mateer. Sategna III scored his two touchdowns on receptions of 30 yards in the first quarter and 9 yards in the third quarter. He caught four passes for 75 yards and totaled 97 yards on his five punt returns, OU’s most punt return yards since 2012. Running back Tory Blaylock rushed 15 times for a team-high 78 yards. The Sooners scored on their first five possessions and seven of their first eight. Hawkins Jr. also connected with tight end Kaden Helms for a 3-yard touchdown. It was Helms’ first reception of the season. Kicker Tate Sandell made all five of his PAT attempts and was 3 for 3 on field goals, converting from 49, 39 and 55 yards (career long). In the third quarter, defensive end R Mason Thomas forced a fumble on a sack and defensive tackle Gracen Halton returned it four yards for a TD. Two possessions later, defensive back Jaydan Hardy notched OU’s first interception of the season. Oklahoma recorded five sacks and 13 tackles for loss and limited Kent State to 17 rushing yards and 135 total yards. Thomas and defensive lineman David Stone each logged a career- and team-high six tackles. Seven defensive linemen contributed on 11 tackles for loss and defensive linemen registered all five sacks. The shutout was OU’s first since the 2023 season opener vs. Arkansas State.

DALLAS — No. 6/6 Oklahoma kicked two first-half field goals and led 6-3 at halftime, but was held scoreless in the second half in a 23-6 loss to No. RV/19 Texas in the Allstate Red River Rivalry at Cotton Bowl Stadium. Redshirt junior kicker Tate Sandell made both of his field goal attempts, from 42 yards on OU’s opening possession and from 41 yards in the second quarter, to give the Sooners a 6-0 lead. Redshirt junior quarterback John Mateer, who was playing in his first game since undergoing surgery on his right (throwing) hand 17 days earlier, completed 20 of 38 passes for 202 yards but threw three interceptions. Redshirt senior Deion Burks notched five receptions for a game-high 64 yards and redshirt junior Isaiah Sategna III made four catches for 61 yards. Texas scored the first touchdown of the game with just under eight minutes to play in the third quarter, returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown in the middle of the fourth quarter and made 3 of 5 field goal attempts in the game. The Longhorns totaled 302 offensive yards, marking the first time of the season OU allowed more than 300 yards of total offense. OU redshirt senior linebacker Kendal Daniels logged a team-high six tackles, including 2.0 for loss, and a QB hurry. Redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Taylor Wein recorded four tackles, including a career-high 3.0 for lost yardage, and senior defensive lineman R Mason Thomas finished with three tackles, including OU’s only sack. Redshirt junior linebacker Kobie McKinzie had 2.0 tackles for loss and four total stops.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Tory Blaylock rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown, John Mateer passed for 150 yards and a score and the Oklahoma defense registered 13 tackles for loss, six sacks, two interceptions and a safety in a 26-7 win at South Carolina. Blaylock scored the game’s first touchdown with an 18-yard run on OU’s opening possession. The freshman running back finished the game with 19 carries and averaged 5.3 yards per rush, good for his second SEC Freshman of the Week honor. Mateer completed 18 of 26 passes with no interceptions and connected with redshirt junior wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III for a third-quarter, 20-yard score. Mateer led the Sooners on first-half scoring drives of 75 and 92 yards, which both ended in rushing touchdowns. Sophomore running back Xavier Robinson capped the 92-yard drive with a 10-yard TD burst. He finished with 58 yards on 11 carries (5.3 per rush). Redshirt junior Javonnie Gibson notched season highs of five receptions and 24 yards. Redshirt sophomore Taylor Wein registered his first career interception on a thirdquarter fake punt attempt and totaled four solo tackles, including 2.0 for loss. Senior R Mason Thomas and junior Adepoju Adebawore each notched 1.5 sacks. OU’s six sacks were its second most on the season, and the Sooners recorded double-digit tackles for loss for the fifth straight game. Redshirt junior kicker Tate Sandell tied his career long with a 55-yard field goal in the third quarter to extend OU’s lead to 17-7. Following a 40-yard quick-pooch punt by Mateer that pinned the Gamecocks at their own 1-yard line late in the fourth quarter, redshirt sophomore Markus Strong tackled running back Matt Fuller in the end zone for a safety and the game’s final points.

NORMAN — Despite career days from wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III and running back Xavier Robinson, No. 13 Oklahoma fell to No. 8 Ole Miss 34-26 on Homecoming. OU erased a 12-point halftime deficit behind a Tate Sandell field goal and two rushing touchdowns from Robinson to surge ahead 26-25 late in the third quarter, but the Rebels controlled the fourth period, retaking the lead with a touchdown and adding a field goal. Robinson totaled a career-high 109 rushing yards on nine carries, including scoring runs of 65 and 9 yards, while Sategna posted a personal-best 131 receiving yards, highlighted by a 76-yard TD reception from John Mateer early in the second quarter that knotted the score at 10-10. Mateer completed 17 of 31 passes for 223 yards and one TD. Deion Burks added four catches for 32 yards. Sandell connected on both of his field goal tries from 42 yards out. The defense kept the Sooners within reach, forcing a turnover on downs early in the third quarter and limiting Ole Miss to 116 rushing yards on 41 attempts. Linebacker Kip Lewis had a game-high 12 tackles, while safety Robert Spears-Jennings tallied 11 stops and a forced fumble. The Sooners registered 14 tackles for loss, their most since 2023, led by linebacker Kendal Daniels’ 2.5. Owen Heinecke and David Stone had 2.0 each.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — No. 11 Oklahoma scored 17 points off of three turnovers, including seven on an 87-yard interception return by sophomore cornerback Eli Bowen, and redshirt junior kicker Tate Sandell made three field goals as OU defeated No. 4 Alabama 23-21 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Sooners snapped Alabama’s 17-game home winning streak, which was the longest active FBS streak, and posted the program’s highest-ranked road victory since winning at No. 2 Ohio State in 2017. The crowd of 100,077 was the fourth largest in OU football history and the second straight over 100,000. Bowen picked off Alabama's Ty Simpson at the OU 13-yard line late in the first quarter and returned it for a TD to give the Sooners a 10-0 lead. John Mateer passed for 138 yards and rushed for 23, including a 20-yard, second-quarter score that put OU up 17-7. Sandell made field goals of 25, 52 and 24 yards. The 52-yarder extended OU’s lead to 20-14 with 10:38 left in the third quarter. His 24-yarder put OU ahead 23-21 with 13:41 to go after the Crimson Tide took its only lead of the day midway though the third period. Alabama cut Oklahoma’s lead to 10-7 and 17-14 in the second quarter, and had a 36yard field goal attempt blocked by redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Taylor Wein at the end of the first half. Late in the third, Wein sacked Simpson and knocked the ball loose. Redshirt senior linebacker Kendal Daniels recovered it at the UA 28, leading to Sandell’s game-winner. Sophomore defensive back Jaydan Hardy also forced a fumble on a second-quarter punt return that was recovered by junior linebacker Sammy Omosigho and led to Mateer’s rushing touchdown two plays later. Linebacker Kip Lewis led the Sooners with a game-high seven tackles (all solo) and a career-high 2.0 sacks. He was also credited with a QB hurry on Bowen’s interception.

NORMAN — John Mateer passed for 173 yards and two touchdowns and the Oklahoma defense limited the nation’s sixth-ranked rushing offense to 70 ground yards, as the Sooners defeated No. 23 Missouri 17-6 at Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. OU extended its winning streak against Missouri in Norman to 19 games, dating back to 1968, and gained its nation-leading fifth win of the season against a ranked opponent. Redshirt junior wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III caught three passes for 109 yards, including an 87-yard touchdown to give OU a 7-3 lead in the second quarter. The 87-yard pass play was the third-longest in stadium history. Mateer also found redshirt junior wide receiver Javonnie Gibson for an 8-yard TD in the second quarter, as the Sooners took a 14-6 lead at halftime. It was Gibson’s first touchdown reception at OU. The Sategna TD came three plays after junior safety Peyton Bowen blocked a Missouri 35-yard field goal attempt. It was OU’s second straight game with a field goal block. Redshirt junior kicker Tate Sandell made a 45-yard field goal on OU’s opening possession of the second half, which served as the game’s final points. The Sooners held the Tigers to zero net rushing yards on nine attempts in the second half. MU entered the day averaging 241.7 rushing yards per game and running back Ahmad Hardy came in averaging a nation-leading 134.6 per outing. He had just 57 vs. OU. Redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Taylor Wein registered two tackles for loss (career-high 1.5 sacks) and senior defensive lineman Gracen Halton added 2.0 TFLs. Defensive linemen accounted for all four of OU’s sacks and six of eight TFLs. Redshirt junior linebacker Owen Heinecke led the team with 10 tackles (one for loss). Junior cornerback Jacobe Johnson and sophomore corner Eli Bowen each notched their second interception of the season. It was Bowen’s second straight game with a pick. The Sooners, who had a minus-7 turnover margin through six games, did not commit a turnover against Missouri and pulled even in the category for the season with their seventh and eighth takeaways over the last five contests. Redshirt junior punter Grayson Miller had five 50-yard boots, tied for the second most in a game in school history. The 23 combined points were the fewest in a game involving OU since it beat West Virginia 16-7 in Norman in the second contest of the 2013 season..

NORMAN — John Mateer passed for 318 yards and two touchdowns, including a 58-yard TD pass to redshirt junior wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III to give Oklahoma the lead with 4:16 remaining, and the Sooners closed the regular season with a 17-13 home victory over LSU to secure their 43rd 10-win season in program history. The Sooners gained 393 yards of total offense — their most in SEC play on the season — and held the Tigers to just 198 total offensive yards, the fewest OU allowed to a power conference opponent since 2017. Mateer completed 23 passes for 318 yards and two TDs and rushed for 27 yards. His 318 passing yards were his most since throwing for 392 yards in the season opener vs. Illinois State. Sategna registered nine catches for 121 yards and the game-winning touchdown. He also had a 35-yard punt return that set up OU’s first touchdown of the game, a 45-yard pass from Mateer to redshirt senior wide receiver Deion Burks with 1:47 left in the third quarter. Burks finished with four catches for 61 yards and senior tight end Jaren Kanak had six for 54 yards. Freshman running back Tory Blaylock rushed for 42 yards on 11 carries. Junior defensive back Peyton Bowen logged seven tackles and an interception, and broke up a pass on 4th and 2 from the OU 29-yard line on LSU’s final play of the game. Redshirt senior linebacker Kendal Daniels and redshirt junior linebacker Owen Heinecke also each had team highs of seven tackles to lead the Sooners. Redshirt junior Grayson Miller punted seven times. His two punts of 50-plus yards gave him 23 on the year, a single-season school record. Redshirt junior kicker Tate Sandell kicked a 38-yard field goal for the game’s first points, extending his OU-record streak of made field goals to 23, also the longest single-season streak in SEC history.

To lure the Sooners to Miami, the Orange Bowl director circled the Norman campus, leaving chalk messages that promoted the game. Tennessee’s powerful ground attack was too much for the Sooners, winners of 14 straight, as the Volunteers raced to a 17-0 victory in the fifth annual Orange Bowl. The victory was the 13th straight for the Vols, who were coached by Major Bob Neyland. The game was considered to be the roughest of all bowl games played that year as both teams combined for more than 200 yards in penalties.

STATISTICAL LEADERS Rushing: OU – Golding, 12-91 NCSU – Palmer, 10-70 GAME SUMMARY In a game that featured two of the marquee names in college football at the time, Oklahoma blasted North Carolina State, 34-13, before an overflowing crowd of 10,000 in the second annual Gator Bowl. The Sooners did not take long to get on the scoreboard, two minutes to be exact, on an Eddie Davis one-yard plunge. N.C. State roared back to even the score, but OU put the game out of reach by scoring 20 second-quarter points and coasted from there. The marquee matchup was made possible because of the Tournament of Roses committee decision to match representatives of the Western Athletic Conference (now the Pac-12) and the Big Nine, (now the Big Ten). This agreement made it possible for teams not waiting for a possible Rose Bowl berth to be picked by the Gator Bowl committee.

GAME SUMMARY It was legendary Coach Bud Wilkinson’s first bowl game as the fifth-ranked and underdog Sooners took on the third-ranked and unbeaten North Carolina Tar Heels accompanied by their All-America tailback Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Oklahoma upset the 'Heels with the big play coming in the first quarter as linebacker Myrle Greathouse intercepted a pass and returned it 70 yards to set up Jack Mitchell’s one-yard run. The Sooners never trailed after that.

The game was one-sided and still stands as the largest margin of victory in OU bowl history. One of the many Sooner big plays was Leon Heath’s OU bowl record-breaking 86-yard TD run. The game was marred by an early-week incident where a former LSU player was caught spying on Sooner practices. It was the only time in Wilkinson’s career that he publicly blasted an opponent.

However, Kentucky, coached by Paul “Bear” Bryant, upset the Sooners and broke a 31-game OU winning streak. OU lost a bowl-record five fumbles in falling behind 13-0. A fourth quarter 17-yard TD pass by Billy Vessels narrowed the margin, but a come-from-behind effort was foiled by an interception in the final minute of play.

Maryland came into the game as the regular season national champion with OU rated fourth. Twice, the Terrapins had first down with the ball inside the 10-yard line, and both times the Sooner defense refused to allow any points on the scoreboard. Sooner tailback Larry Grigg scored the only TD of the game with a 25-yard scamper in the second period. The 1954 bowl game was the first bowl game in which the players had to play both ways. Sooner hero Grigg also played defensive back.

The Sooners, a perfect 10-0 and in the midst of their 47-game winning streak, trailed 6-0 at the half.

Duke, the ACC winner, was unranked. Oklahoma got only six first downs, lost the total offense battle (328 yards to 279) and picked up an OU-bowl-record 165 yards in penalties, but used two interception returns for TDs, including an OU-bowl-record 94-yarder from David Baker, two fumble recoveries, a blocked punt and a bad snap from center to win going away. The 48 points marked an all-time OU bowl record that stood until matched by the ‘91 Gator Bowl team.

Oklahoma was led by Prentice Gautt, who scored the game’s first TD on the second play of the game with a 42-yard run. Gautt averaged an OU-bowl-record 15.7 yards every time he touched the ball. It was the Sooners’ fourth straight Orange Bowl victory. OU ended the season ranked fifth in the nation, its only loss a one-pointer to Texas.

Paul “Bear” Bryant, coaching his alma mater, repeated his victory as the coach at Kentucky in the 1951 Sugar Bowl with a 17-0 triumph. LB Lee Roy Jordan, the MVP, and QB Joe Namath led the Crimson Tide to the victory.The Sooners had first and goal twice in the first half, but fumbles ended OU’s chances and the Sooners never really threatened again. The lone highlight for Oklahoma was a visit by President John F. Kennedy to the Sooners’ locker room. Although President Kennedy claimed neutrality, it was obvious by the grimace on his face he was backing OU.

To add insult to injury, four of the Seminoles’ TD passes were thrown on fourth-down plays. Four Oklahoma players had been found ineligible the night before the game because they had signed pro contracts which was in violation of NCAA rules. FSU wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff finished the game with 13 receptions for 192 yards and four TDs.

Although a slight underdog to the Vols, OU broke out to a 19-0 halftime lead. Tennessee came back to narrow the Sooner lead to 19-17 before Oklahoma defensive back Bob Stephenson picked off a pass and raced 24 yards to give OU an all important insurance TD. The Sooners desperately needed the insurance when Dewey Warren plowed in from a yard out. The Vols then missed a potential game-winning field goal as the gun went off.

GAME SUMMARY OU led 20-6 entering the fourth quarter, but SMU’s Chuck Hixson, passing for 281 yards, led a comeback that produced a 28-21 lead. OU, without injured QB Bob Warmack, narrowed the margin to one on a pass from Mickey Ripley to Johnny Barr, but missed a two-point conversion that would have put it ahead. The Sooners had one last chance after recovering an onside kick, but a field goal attempt from inside the SMU 30-yard line went wide as time expired.

GAME SUMMARY The emergence of the wishbone and Greg Pruitt were late-season developments that propelled OU to four wins in its last five games and a postseason invitation. The Sooners had switched to the wishbone, and they were running it to perfection by the time the bowl game rolled around. The “bone” produced 349 yards rushing and touchdown runs of 58 and 25 yards by All-American Greg Pruitt, but the Sooners still needed a late field goal by Bruce Derr to forge the tie with the Crimson Tide.

Auburn featured Heisman Trophy winner Pat Sullivan. It was run versus pass, with OU’s runners prevailing. The Sooners roared to a 31-0 halftime lead and amassed 439 yards rushing by game’s end to set Oklahoma and Sugar Bowl records. QB Jack Mildren, playing in the final game of his brilliant college career, scored a Sugar Bowl-record three times. OU finished second in the polls to Nebraska with another Big Eight team, Colorado, finishing third.

GAME SUMMARY Played for the first time on New Year’s Eve, the Sugar Bowl brought the Big Eight Champion Sooners to do battle with Joe Paterno’s fifth-ranked Nittany Lions. The Sooner defense posted a shutout while allowing only 11 first downs and 49 yards rushing the entire game. It was the first year that freshmen were eligible and Sooner wide receiver Tinker Owens celebrated with five catches, good for 132 yards and one touchdown. It was also the last game for Sooner head coach Chuck Fairbanks who left for the NFL the following spring.

GAME SUMMARY It was Oklahoma’s first bowl trip under legendary head coach Barry Switzer and a storybook setting. Ohio State, the No. 1-ranked team in the country, had lost in the Rose Bowl earlier in the afternoon. The upset gave the Sooners an opportunity to win the national championship if they could beat the Michigan Wolverines coached by Bo Schembechler. A 39yard end around by Billy Brooks and a nine-yard keeper by Steve Davis were enough for a 14-6 victory and a fifth national championship.

The Sooners led 27-0 at the third quarter mark before the reserves added two more scores in the fourth period. OU did not punt the entire game, the only time in Sooner bowl history that had happened.

When Notre Dame downed Texas in the Cotton Bowl, OU was in the running for a national championship. A big win over Arkansas might impress the voters and secure the crown for the Sooners. As a result, Switzer went against his own strategy by choosing to receive the opening kickoff rather than play defense. OU fumbled inside its own 10 on the third play of the game and Arkansas immediately scored for a lead it never relinquished.

The Sooners, ranked No. 1 with one loss, had lost a heartbreaker to the Cornhuskers, 17-14, on a late fumble at the NU three-yard line. When the Huskers were upset the following week by Missouri, producing a Big Eight Championship tie, the Orange Bowl officials came up with the idea of a rematch, much to the Sooners’ joy and the Huskers’ shock. It went as predicted: an Oklahoma victory.

After the Seminoles took a 7-0 first-quarter lead, OU unleashed 17 second-quarter points to take the lead for good. J.C. Watts was named Orange Bowl MVP on offense. He scored on a 61-yard option play and rushed for more than 100 yards. Bud Hebert, who recorded three interceptions, earned the award on defense. Billy Sims wrapped up his brilliant collegiate career scoring on a 22-yard pitch from Watts. Oklahoma finished third in the country and won the Orange Bowl for the third time in five tries under Switzer. The Seminoles crossed midfield only two times after the first quarter and never passed the 35-yard line.

QB J.C. Watts was chosen MVP and with good reason. The Seminoles used a fourth-quarter TD to break a 10-10 tie and seemingly gain control. OU was forced to start deep in its own territory after the kickoff with little time left. Watts went to work and passed the Sooners to the 11-yard line where he hit Steve Rhodes with a TD strike to pull the Sooners to within one with less than a minute to go. Watts then proceeded to hit tight end Forrest Valora for the two-point conversion that gave the Sooners their ninth Orange Bowl victory, including three in the last four years. Oklahoma finished ranked No. 3 in the nation.

Freshman Fred Sims rolled up 181 yards rushing in the game after rushing for just 179 in the regular season.

Dupree ran wild early, amassing 239 yards before recurrent leg injuries forced him out in the third quarter. The turning point came when Oklahoma punter Michael Keeling could not get his punt away and was forced to throw an illegal pass. The Devils took over at the OU 43 and later scored when Darryl Clark raced 15 yards for a touchdown.

GAME SUMMARY Brigham Young was No. 1 in the polls, but Sooner head coach Barry Switzer had argued that the Sooners should be No. 1 because of a tougher schedule. A win over a fine Husky team would solidify that claim. However, Washington refused to cooperate and turned a 17-14 fourth-quarter deficit into a 28-17 triumph. The game was marked by a bizarre incident when, after thinking an Oklahoma field goal was good, the Sooner Schooner raced onto the field as called for by tradition. A penalty negated the field goal, but the Schooner became stuck in the muddy field in front of UW’s bench, resulting in a 15-yard penalty. The following 42-yard try was no good.

GAME SUMMARY A swarming defense, a record field goal performance and two big plays helped Oklahoma defeat Penn State to capture the program’s sixth national championship. Butkus Award winner Brian Bosworth had 13 solo tackles and the Oklahoma secondary picked off four Penn State passes to thwart any rallies. Tim Lashar booted an Orange Bowl-record four field goals to give the Sooners an early lead. Lydell Carr and Keith Jackson then provided big plays: a 61-yard jaunt by Carr and a 71-yard pass play from Jamelle Holieway to Jackson.

GAME SUMMARY After nine years, Barry Switzer avenged his most embarrassing loss, coaching Oklahoma to a 42-8 rout of Arkansas. LB Danté Jones, playing in place of All-American Brian Bosworth, led the defense, which held the Hogs to just 48 rushing yards. Spencer Tillman gained 109 yards rushing on just seven carries. His totals included a 77-yard TD to give OU the early 7-0 lead. Todd Thomsen set an Orange Bowl record with five punts for a 47.6-yard average.

The Hurricanes took the opening kickoff and moved 65 yards in eight plays for a 7-0 lead, then never looked back. The Sooner offense, which led the nation in six categories, was held to only 179 rushing yards and 255 overall. Late in the fourth quarter, the Sooners scored on a 29-yard fumblerooski which gave the Oklahoma faithful a flicker of hope. The Hurricane defenders blew it out when they sacked quarterback Charles Thompson and caused a fumble to ensure the victory.

On the Sooners’ last possession, OU took over possession on its own 20 with 2:59 left on the clock. QB Jamelle Holieway, playing in his final game, scampered 11 yards on a fourth down to keep the drive alive. Holieway then completed passes of five, seven, four, 12, seven, 12 and 13 yards, to get OU inside the Tiger 14 with 12 seconds remaining. But two desperation heaves by Holieway dropped incomplete to end all Oklahoma hopes.

Gundy was 25-of-31, including 11 straight completions, for 329 yards and two TDs. The Sooners scored touchdowns on four of their first five possessions to put the game out of reach before halftime. The OU defense never allowed the Cavaliers inside the 20. The 48 points tied the OU bowl game record (48-21 over Duke in the ‘58 Orange Bowl).

The Sooners scored the first two times they had the ball. Another Gundy TD pass boosted the lead to 21-3. Just over a minute later, the game MVP hit again and Oklahoma was cruising at halftime 28-3. Meanwhile, the nation’s second-leading rusher was held to just 95 yards by the Sooner defense.

The Sooners started reserve QB Terence Brown, who had completed one of three passes during the regular season. Usual starter Garrick McGee had contracted spinal meningitis and was unable to play. OU’s defense surrendered 485 yards and four touchdowns through the air. BYU’s John Walsh set Copper Bowl records for completions (31) and TD passes (4). Sooner linebacker Broderick Simpson was defensive player of the game with 13 tackles, a sack and a pass breakup.

As the nation’s only unbeaten team, the Sooners were the unanimous winners of the AP media poll. They were automatically crowned national champions in the coaches’ poll under the Bowl Championship Series format. Led by Orange Bowl MVP Torrance Marshall, the Sooners time and again forced Florida State quarterback Chris Weinke into bad decisions. Tim Duncan kicked two field goals and Quentin Griffin scored the clinching touchdown on a 10-yard run up the middle with 8:30 to play. Florida State avoided its first shutout in 12 seasons when Stanford Samuels tackled OU punter Jeff Ferguson in the end zone for a safety with 55 seconds remaining after the snap sailed over his head.

Oklahoma’s defense was that much better. The final statistics were as chilling and stark as the weather. The Razorbacks, who reached OU territory just two times the entire game, could muster only 13 passing yards on two completions while their rushing attempts (42) outnumbered their rushing yards (37). Sooner defenders tied a school and Cotton Bowl record with a whopping nine sacks. Late in the first quarter, Oklahoma set sail on a 13-play, 63-yard scoring drive that culminated in a one-yard sneak by quarterback Nate Hybl. Along the way, the Sooners converted two third downs and one fourth. The resulting touchdown and PAT made the rest of the afternoon academic. OU added a 32-yard field goal by Tim Duncan in the third frame to build a 10-0 advantage that felt like twice that given the play of the defense. Arkansas, aided by penalties, finally scratched out a field goal, but no serious threat to the outcome was ever mounted.

OU’s defense logged six sacks and two interceptions to set the tone. Rose Bowl MVP Nate Hybl tossed two TD passes and Quentin Griffin rushed for 144 yards as the OU offense wore down the Cougars. Oklahoma became just the fourth school in college football history to win the four BCS games and the Cotton Bowl.

Oklahoma entered the game as the nation’s top scoring offense, but struggled against the Tigers. The OU defense gave a good account too, surrendering 64 of LSU’s 312 total yards on a non-scoring run on the Tigers’ first snap. Still, it was the LSU defenders who stole the show. DE Marcus Spears returned an interception 20 yards for a TD on the first series of the second half and seemingly opened the floodgates. But OU stiffened and got its running game untracked. After pulling within seven at 21-14, the Sooners made another push to the LSU 12, but missed on four straight pass attempts, the last one with just 2:46 left. The crowd was the largest ever to see a sporting event in the Louisiana Superdome.

GAME SUMMARY Oklahoma linebacker Clint Ingram made a leaping interception of Oregon quarterback Brady Leaf’s pass at the 10-yard line with 33 seconds left to preserve the Sooners’ 17-14 upset of the No. 6 Oregon Ducks. Rhett Bomar threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to fullback J.D. Runnels for a 10-7 Oklahoma lead with 9:20 to play in the third quarter. Late in the third, Adrian Peterson’s backup, Kejuan Jones, scored on an 8-yard run to make it 17-7. Peterson softened the Ducks with three bruising carries on the drive for 36 yards, including a 20-yard gain when he leveled safety J.D. Nelson.

GAME SUMMARY Making their first ever College Football Playoff appearance, the Sooners took a 17-16 halftime lead over undefeated and No. 1-ranked Clemson. Oklahoma got a one-yard score from Samaje Perine and an 11-yard pass from Baker Mayfield to Mark Andrews in the first half, but Clemson’s defense kept OU off the scoreboard for the remainder of the contest.

Dominique Alexander led the Sooners with eight tackles.

GAME SUMMARY Oklahoma registered its 10th straight win and gave Bob Stoops his second Sugar Bowl triumph in his final game as head coach. Samaje Perine rushed for 88 yards, pushing him past Billy Sims and into first on OU's career rushing yards list (4,122), while Baker Mayfield threw for 296 yards and a pair of TDs. Joe Mixon led the Sooners with 91 rushing yards and two scores and logged five catches for a game-high 89 yards. Oklahoma held Auburn to 339 total yards. Freshman Caleb Kelly made a career-high 12 tackles and Jordan Thomas recorded the game's only interception midway through the fourth quarter to end Auburn's hopes of a comeback. OU outscored the Tigers 21-0 in the second half until Auburn found the end zone on the game's final play.

GAME SUMMARY Fourth-seeded Oklahoma made its third College Football Playoff appearance in four years and outscored No. 1 Alabama 34-17 over the final 43 minutes in Miami. But the Sooners' 28-0 deficit to start the game proved too much to overcome. Kyler Murray threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for the most yards (109) by a quarterback against a Nick Saban-coached Alabama team. CeeDee Lamb caught eight passes for 109 yards and a TD while Charleston Rambo posted career highs of three catches and 74 receiving yards, including a 49-yard TD. OU's 34 points, 471 total yards, 308 passing yards, 26 first downs and 6.8 yards per play were Alabama opponent season highs.

GAME SUMMARY Appearing in its third consecutive College Football Playoff semifinal and fourth in five years, No. 4-ranked Oklahoma fell 63-28 to Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow and No. 1-ranked LSU. The Tigers went on to win the national title. Jalen Hurts rushed for a pair of touchdowns to tie the OU single-season quarterback record with 20 rushing TDs and his 43 rushing yards helped him set the single-season rushing record by a Sooner quarterback, bringing his total to 1,298. CeeDee Lamb caught four passes for 119 yards and moved into third place on OU’s all-time receiving yards list with 3,292. Lamb’s 51-yard first-quarter reception gave him a school-record 24 career catches of at least 40 yards.

GAME SUMMARY Oklahoma set bowl game program records for points and total yards, tied its record for bowl game margin of victory and set a Cotton Bowl standard for yards per rush in a 55-20 win over No. 10 Florida. The Sooners compiled 684 yards of total offense and their 10.9 yards per carry represented the second-highest figure in any game in school history. They gained 409 total yards (307 rushing) in the second half alone. Rhamondre Stevenson (186) and Marcus Major (110) each ran for over 100 yards and Spencer Rattler completed 14 of 23 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns and ran for a score.

HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS 93 NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS • 169 ALL-AMERICANS • 7 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS

1969 • HEISMAN WINNER • STEVE OWENS

1952 • HEISMAN WINNER • BILLY VESSELS Billy “Curly” Vessels was the man who started it all. The first Sooner to win college football’s most prestigious individual achievement award, Vessels led the Sooners to a 26-4-1 record during his career.

Steve Owens was a 6-2, 215-pound powerhouse from Miami, Okla., who ravaged defenses from 1967-69, setting four conference records of the day.

The 1950 Sooners, under the direction of head coach Bud Wilkinson, went 10-1 to give Oklahoma its first of seven national championships. As a sophomore, Vessels started on the 1950 squad, scoring 15 touchdowns.

Playing on a 1969 squad that had been hurt badly by graduation in 1968, Owens carried the load for the Sooner offense. OU’s workhorse carried the ball 358 times that year for 1,523 yards while scoring a school-record 23 touchdowns.

But Vessels’ most successful individual season came during his senior campaign when he won the Heisman Trophy. Vessels rushed for 1,072 yards on 167 carries and scored 17 touchdowns.

Owens had two 200-plus-yard games while leading the Sooners to a 6-4 season. Spurred by Owens’ effort, Oklahoma averaged 28.5 points a game in 1969.

Creating a new meaning for the word “versatile,” the Cleveland, Okla., slasher was part of every phase of the Sooner offensive attack. Vessels was even a threat from above. “Curly” connected on seven passes for two touchdowns in 1952.

Owens' great career left a mark on the OU records book, and he still has several school standards to his credit. He is the school’s all-time leading scorer with 57 career touchdowns, and he holds the records for the most carries in a game (55) and career (958). Owens finished his three-year career with 4,041 rushing yards, the fifth most in school history.

The 1952 Sooners went 8-1-1, finishing fourth in the nation, and won Oklahoma’s ninth conference title. OU opened with a 21-21 tie against Colorado and then reeled off five straight wins, averaging 46 points per contest. OU dropped a 27-21 decision to Notre Dame and then finished strong by sweeping the last three games.

Detroit selected Owens in the NFL Draft first round. He was the first Lion to gain over 1,000 yards in a season and was an All-Pro selection in 1971 and 1972.

In 1953, Vessels turned pro with the Edmonton Eskimos and won the Schenley Award as the top player in Canada. He then served as an officer in the U.S. Army. Vessels was elected to the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame in 1974. CAREER STATISTICS Year

HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS 7 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS • 50 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS • 59 BOWL APPEARANCES

1978 • HEISMAN WINNER • BILLY SIMS

2003 • HEISMAN WINNER • JASON WHITE

Billy Sims, a 6-0, 205-pound running back from Hooks, Texas, swept through defenses like a tornado flying across the Oklahoma landscape. He set a Big Eight single-season rushing record in 1978 with 1,896 yards on 256 carries and led the nation in rushing by averaging more than 7.0 yards per carry. He topped the 200-yard mark in a school-best four different games that season. Sims led the Sooners to an 11-1 record, Orange Bowl championship and third-place finish in the final poll. OU opened with a 35-29 win over Stanford and then crushed West Virginia and Rice by a combined score of 118-17. The Sooners rolled over Texas and won the first five games of the conference schedule heading into the Nebraska contest. Sims ran for 153 yards against the Cornhuskers, but it was not enough as the Sooners fell, 17-14.

Sims ranks first in the OU records book for 200-yard rushing games in a season (4) and a career (7), and ranks second in rushing yards in a season (1,896). He was first on OU's all-time rushing list with 4,118 yards until Samaje Perine (4,122) passed him in 2016. Year

He did so with uncanny accuracy, especially on deep throws, and a touchdown to interception ratio (four to one) so gaudy that it read like a typographical error. White set school records for touchdown passes in a season (40) and game (5, twice). His season passing total ranked No. 2 at OU. He was No. 4 nationally in touchdown percentage (8.87), No. 7 in passing efficiency (158.11), No. 18 in interception percentage (2.22) and No. 22 in total offense (264.0). The outpouring of recognition was impressive. White captured player of the year honors from the Associated Press, Sports Illustrated, The Sporting News and CNNSI.com. He also won the Davey O’Brien Award and the Jim Thorpe Courage Award.

OU responded by clubbing Oklahoma State 62-7 and was rematched with the Cornhuskers in the Orange Bowl. The Sooners edged Nebraska 31-24 in the second meeting between the top-10 schools.

CAREER STATISTICS

OU quarterback Jason White became the trigger man for the country’s most potent offensive attack in 2003. At a school where the points can flow like an Oklahoma gusher, White led the OU team that outscored all of its predecessors (601 total points).

White returned for another season after his Heisman campaign and finished third in the voting. It was an unprecedented finish by one school when his teammate Adrian Peterson finished second. CAREER STATISTICS Year

HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS 93 NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS • 169 ALL-AMERICANS • 7 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS

2008 • HEISMAN WINNER • SAM BRADFORD

2017 • HEISMAN WINNER • BAKER MAYFIELD

As the leader of the most potent and highest-scoring offense in NCAA history (716 points), Sam Bradford rewrote the Oklahoma record books on a continual basis throughout the 2008 season while lighting up scoreboards. Known for his poise in the pocket and pinpoint accuracy, Bradford posted one of best ever touchdown-to-interception ratios, 6.25-to-1, in the history of college football. When the dust had settled on the 2008 season, Bradford led the nation in passing efficiency and touchdowns, was No. 3 nationally in passing yards, set the Oklahoma season records for yards, touchdowns, passing efficiency, 200-yard games, 300-yard games, and 400-yard games, along with the career record for TD passes. Bradford threw for at least four touchdown passes in eight games, tossing five scoring strikes in four different contests. In addition, Bradford surpassed Florida’s Rex Grossman with the most touchdowns through the freshman and sophomore years with 82. In one of the closest Heisman races in recent history, Bradford held off fellow quarterbacks Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow to become the fifth winner in program history.

Baker Mayfield arrived at Oklahoma unannounced as a walk-on. He left as the most decorated player in program history. The quarterback, who grew up an OU fan in Austin, Texas, finished his career with a season for the ages in 2017, leading the Sooners to their third straight Big 12 title and a second College Football Playoff appearance in three years, while being named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, a unanimous All-American and OU's sixth Heisman Trophy winner. Mayfield led the FBS in completion percentage in 2017 (.705), points responsible for (296) and yards per pass attempt (11.5), and broke his own FBS single-season record for passing efficiency rating (198.9). He also set the OU single-season record for total offense (4,938 yards) and finished second in school single-season history in completion percentage and touchdown passes (43). All told, he accounted for 49 TDs and just six turnovers. The landslide Heisman winner did all he could to cement the honor in a Nov. 4 contest at Oklahoma State in which he set OU records with 598 passing yards (387 in the first half to also set a school standard) and 589 yards of total offense in a 62-52 win. He was 24 of 36 through the air, threw for five touchdowns and ran for a score.

Bradford also brought home the Associated Press Player of the Year, Davey O’Brien, Sammy Baugh and Chic Harley awards while being named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year by the league coaches. The AP and The Sporting News named Bradford a first-team All-American.

Named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week four times in 2017, Mayfield also won that season's Maxwell Award, Davey O'Brien Award, Manning Award, Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award and Walter Camp Player of the Year Award. He was also named AP and Sporting News Player of the Year, and went on to become the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS 7 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS • 50 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS • 59 BOWL APPEARANCES

2018 •• HEISMAN HEISMANWINNER WINNER••BILLY KYLER MURRAY 1978 SIMS Kyler Murray played full-time only one season as a collegian, but it was one for the history books. After a consensus-national-player-of-the-year honor capped a legendary Texas high school career, the quarterback started three games as a Texas A&M freshman in 2015, transferred to Oklahoma that December, sat out the 2016 season and was Heisman winner Baker Mayfield's backup in 2017. All Murray did in his lone season as a full-time starter was lead the Sooners to the 2018 Big 12 championship and the College Football Playoff, be named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, earn All-America honors and claim OU's seventh Heisman Trophy. Murray, who tied the record by being named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week five times, became the first FBS player to ever average at least 300.0 passing yards (311.5) and at least 60.0 rushing yards (71.5) per game for a full season. And he became just the second player to ever record at least 4,000 passing yards and at least 1,000 rushing yards in a campaign. The speedy Murray led the nation in total offense (school-record 5,362 yards), points responsible for (324), yards per completion (16.8) and yards per pass attempt (single-season FBS record of 11.6). He also ranked second in passing efficiency rating (199.2; second best in FBS history). Murray, who also won the 2018 Davey O'Brien Award, Manning Award and Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award and was named AP Player of the Year, went on to become OU's second straight No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, less than one year after being selected No. 9 overall by the Oakland A's in the Major League Baseball Draft. He became the first person ever selected in the first round of both drafts. CAREER STATISTICS Year

FIRST-TEAM ALL-AMERICANS 93 NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS • 169 ALL-AMERICANS • 7 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS

FIRST-TEAM ALL-AMERICANS (SINCE 2000) Oklahoma players have earned first-team All-America honors 48 times since 2000. The total includes 26 players from the offense, 19 players on defense and three from special teams. Showing versatility, players at OU the last 26 years have earned All-America honors at 15 different positions. During that span, 23 Sooners have been named consensus All-Americans on 29 occasions.

2019 • CEEDEE LAMB • WR After recording a gaudy 2,032 receiving yards and 33 receiving scores as a high school senior, CeeDee Lamb spent his three years in Norman validating his status as one of the country's top prep wideouts. And then some.

2025 • TATE SANDELL • K In his first year at OU after transferring from UTSA, Tate Sandell turned in perhaps the greatest kicking season in Sooners history. He became Oklahoma's first winner of the Lou Groza Award for best collegiate placekicker, and earned first-team All-America status from the FWAA and Sporting News. During the 2025 season, Sandell set or tied 10 career or single-season school, conference, FBS or stadium records. He was named the SEC Special Teams Player of the Year and an All-SEC First Team selection. After missing his first field goal attempt of the season, Sandell made 24 straight, including eight of 50-plus yards and 16 of 40-plus yards, tying FBS records. His four conversions of 55-plus yards were a school career record and led the nation. He ended the season making 24 of his 27 field goal attempts and all 35 of his PAT tries. Sandell scored 107 of the team's 341 points (31%) and made at least one field goal in each the season's last 12 games. Year FGM-FGA 2025 24-27 Totals 24-27

He also ranked 10th in the country with 102.1 receiving yards per game despite ranking 71st with 4.8 catches per contest. His six games of at least 135 receiving yards were the nation's second most. The Most Outstanding Player of the 2019 Big 12 Championship, Lamb left OU ranked second in career receiving TDs (32) and third in career receiving yards (3,292) and career 100-yard receiving games (14) despite playing just three seasons (the Sooners won Big 12 titles and played in the College Football Playoff all three years).

He was small in stature but huge when it came to on-field performance. Marquise Brown, who arrived at OU after one year of junior college standing 5-10 and weighing 148 pounds, eventually bulked up to 168 as a junior when he was named a first-team All-American by the Associated Press. One of the country's fastest players at any position, he had a penchant for making highlight-reel plays. Brown's 2018 season was one of the best ever recorded by an OU receiver. The Biletnikoff Award semifinalist overcame multiple injuries to make 75 receptions for 1,318 yards (17.6 per catch) and 10 touchdowns. His receiving yardage total was the fourth-highest in school single-season history and he tied for the national lead in catches of 40-plus yards (11), 50-plus yards (seven) and 60-plus yards (four). Nicknamed "Hollywood" (his hometown is Hollywood, Fla.), Brown holds the top two receiving performances in OU history, racking up 265 yards at Oklahoma State in 2017 and 243 yards at West Virginia in 2018. He also produced a 191-yard effort at Iowa State in 2018. He was a first-round selection (No. 25 overall) by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2019 NFL Draft. Year 2017 2018 Totals

Blending lightning-quick feet with a strong and uncannily accurate arm, Kyler Murray delivered to college football viewers in 2018 things rarely observed prior to that season. His lone year as a full-time starter culminated with a Big 12 championship, a College Football Playoff appearance, a Heisman Trophy and first-team All-America honors from the AP and FWAA, as well as multiple school and NCAA records. After being selected by the Oakland A's with the ninth overall pick in the 2018 Major League Baseball Draft, the two-sport star established the OU single-season record with 5,362 yards of total offense and set an FBS single-season standard with his 11.6 yards per pass attempt. He also became the first player in major college football history to average at least 300.0 passing yards (311.5) and at least 60.0 rushing yards (71.5) per game for a full season. Murray led an OU offense that set the FBS single-season record for yards per play (8.6) and he became just the second player to ever record at least 4,000 passing yards (4,361) and at least 1,000 rushing yards (1,001) in a campaign.

Mark Andrews excelled as a freshman and was even better as a sophomore. And he dominated as a junior en route to becoming a unanimous first-team All-American and Oklahoma's first recipient of the Mackey Award (nation's top tight end) before leaving early for the NFL Draft. Helping the Sooners to the College Football Playoff his first and last years in Norman, the big and athletic Andrews led OU with 62 catches and eight touchdown receptions as a junior. He was a nightmare to cover for both slower linebackers and smaller defensive backs, and he finished his career as OU's all-time leader in receiving yards among tight ends (1,765) while ranking sixth among all Sooners in touchdown catches (22). The three-time Academic All-Big 12 honoree, who battled type 1 diabetes and monitored his blood sugar levels several times each game, excelled after the catch and scored a touchdown on 20 percent of his career receptions (22 of 112).

2018 • BEN POWERS • OG Ben Powers got an opportunity in his rookie year at OU as a sophomore and never looked back. An offensive guard who was barely recruited out of high school or junior college, Powers was inserted into the lineup when a teammate was injured in the third game of the 2016 season. Thirty-five starts later, Powers etched his name as one of the most accomplished OU offensive linemen of the 21st century. He was crowned a 2018 first-team All-American by the AFCA, FWAA, Sporting News and Walter Camp Foundation, becoming the Sooners' 81st consensus All-American. Blocking for a pair of Heisman Trophy winners (quarterbacks Baker Mayfield in 2017 and Kyler Murray in 2018), Powers helped OU to Big 12 titles in each of his three seasons in Norman and to College Football Playoff appearances in his last two. As a senior, he played 829 snaps without giving up a sack, and was part of an offensive line that won the Joe Moore Award as the nation's top O-line unit. The two-time Academic All-Big 12 First Team member was selected in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens.

He only played three years at Oklahoma, but Orlando Brown was one of the most effective — and decorated — offensive linemen in school history. Known for his ultra-competitive nature and nasty demeanor on the field, he showcased an ability to shut down bull-rushes in pass protection and be a mauler in the run game. Brown started at left tackle in all 40 of the Sooners' games from 2015 through 2017, and was the 2016 and '17 Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year. He was a Sporting News freshman All-American in 2015, an AP and FWAA second-team All-American in 2016, and a unanimous All-American and Outland Trophy finalist in 2017. Protecting quarterback Baker Mayfield's blind side, it's no surprise the Sooners won Big 12 Championships each of their three years together and made a pair of College Football Playoff appearances.

From walk-on transfer to All-American to Heisman Trophy winner to No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, Baker Mayfield was a revelation for Oklahoma in 2015 and simply got better with each season thereafter. He directed the Sooners to three consecutive Big 12 titles and the program's first two College Football Playoff appearances, and as a result left Norman as the most decorated player in program history. With his gunslinger mentality and catch-me-if-you-can scrambling ability, Mayfield registered 4,105 total yards and 43 total touchdowns in his first year at OU, and was named Sporting News Player of the Year and a Sporting News and Walter Camp first-team All-American. Statistically he was even better in 2016 when he accounted for 4,142 yards and 46 more scores in leading OU to a second straight Big 12 title and a Sugar Bowl win. A Heisman finalist, he also set the FBS single-season passing efficiency record with a 196.4 rating. And in 2017, Mayfield led the FBS in completion percentage (.705), points responsible for (296) and yards per pass attempt (11.5), and broke his own FBS single-season record for pass efficiency rating (198.9). He also set the OU record for total offense (4,938 yards). All told that year, he accounted for 49 TDs and just six turnovers as he won the Heisman Trophy, earned his second Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year award and was a unanimous All-American. Year

The unquestioned heartbeat of the team, Eric Striker led the Sooners both on and off the field during his four years in Norman. The outspoken linebacker used his relentless motor and lightning-quick first step to rack up 23.0 career sacks, the most ever by an OU linebacker, 7.5 of which came in his senior season. Striker also logged 19.0 tackles for loss in leading OU's much improved defense to the 2015 Big 12 championship and a berth in the College Football Playoff.

A hometown product from Norman, Ryan Broyles rewrote the receiving section of the Oklahoma record books in his career. When the dust had settled on the season, Broyles held eight of the nine major receiving records in Oklahoma history, spanning from game records to career standards.

Striker was named the winner of the 2015 Bob Kalsu Award, given annually to the Sooner who personifies Oklahoma legend Bob Kalsu's spirit of leadership and serving as a motivator and role model for his teammates. He took home All-America honors from Sporting News and Sports Illustrated and was also named first-team All-Big 12 by the league's coaches, AP and ESPN.com.

Broyles’ senior year saw the local receiver change the NCAA record books as he became the all-time receptions leader in college football history with his 349th reception, fittingly on a 57-yard touchdown play at Kansas.

The safety from Las Vegas was known for his ability to patrol passing lanes while delivering punishing hits to ballcarriers. As much as he was known on the field, Carter was also well known off the field and in the community. Having started a foundation during his collegiate playing career, Carter was awarded the Wooden Citizenship Cup and was named to the American Football Coaches Association 11-member Good Works Team. Despite only starting for two seasons, Carter is one of just two defensive backs in Oklahoma history with two seasons of at least 88 tackles and the only player to accomplish the feat in back-to-back seasons.

FIRST-TEAM ALL-AMERICANS 93 NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS • 169 ALL-AMERICANS • 7 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS

OU'S CONSENSUS AND UNANIMOUS ALL-AMERICANS • Oklahoma has produced 83 consensus All-Americans, a number that trails only Notre Dame (113), Yale (100; all before 1945), Ohio State (99), Harvard (89; all before 1942), Michigan (89), Alabama (87) and USC (86).

2009 • TRENT WILLIAMS • OT A consensus All-American in 2009, Trent Williams earned the reputation as one of the most versatile offensive linemen to play on Owen Field. Named to the All-American First Team by the Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association and the Walter Camp Foundation and first-team All-Big 12 by six organizations, Williams was the ringleader of the OU offensive line in 2009. After starting at right tackle for the better part of his first three collegiate years, Williams slid across the line his final year to protect the blind side of Sam Bradford and Landry Jones. When injuries left the Sooners with no available centers in the Sun Bowl against Stanford, Williams answered the call in the middle as the Oklahoma offensive line gave up no sacks in a win against the Cardinal.

• According to the NCAA Records Book, to be named a consensus All-American, a player has to be listed on the first team for more than half the All-America teams used in the compilation. If not enough players meet this criterion at a position, a player can be selected if named first team on at least two of the All-America teams. Second and third teams are used to break ties. In the case of a true tie, all players are listed. Since 2002, the following organizations have been used to compile the consensus team: American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, Sporting News and Walter Camp Foundation. • OU has produced 35 unanimous All-Americans, trailing only Ohio State (42), Alabama (41) and Notre Dame (38). The Sooners are followed by USC (32) and Michigan (30). Unanimous All-Americans are those who earn first-team All-America status by every official selector (American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, Sporting News and Walter Camp Foundation since 2002). • In 2017, OU became the first program to produce three unanimous All-Americans on offense in one season: tight end Mark Andrews, tackle Orlando Brown and quarterback Baker Mayfield. • Below is a list of Oklahoma's consensus All-Americans. OU's 35 unanimous All-Americans are denoted by asterisks.

2008 • SAM BRADFORD • QB As the leader of the most potent and highest-scoring offense in NCAA history (716 points), Sam Bradford rewrote the Oklahoma record books on a continual basis throughout the 2008 season while lighting up scoreboards like an employee of General Electric. Known for his poise in the pocket and pinpoint accuracy, Bradford posted one of best ever touchdown-to-interception ratios (6.25-to-1) in the history of college football. When the dust had settled on the 2008 season, Bradford led the nation in passing efficiency and touchdowns, was No. 3 nationally in passing yards, set the OU season records for yards, touchdowns, passing efficiency, 200-yard games, 300-yard games and 400-yard games, along with breaking the career record for TD passes.

A matchup nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators, Gresham had more TDs (14) and receiving yards (950) in a season than any other tight end in OU history. Named first team All-Big 12 by the conference coaches, Gresham exceeded 90 yards in five games and five receptions in eight games. When the team needed it the most, Gresham performed, racking up 25 catches, 302 yards and four touchdowns in the final three games of the season. Year

A 2008 Outland Award finalist, Robinson became a two-time consensus All-American by being named a first-team member to four All-America teams (Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, The Sporting News and the Walter Camp Foundation) and earned first-team All-Big 12 honors from five outlets. Robinson was a first-team member of four All-America teams in 2007 (AP, American Football Coaches’ Association, The Sporting News and Sports Illustrated), and earned first-team All-Big 12 honors from eight different outlets. The Atlanta, Ga., native took to the field early, playing in 10 games as a true freshman. From blowing open holes for Adrian Peterson to giving Sam Bradford time in the pocket, the versatile Robinson proved his worth as a member of three consecutive Big 12 Championship teams.

2007 • CURTIS LOFTON • LB

2008 & 2009 • GERALD McCOY • DT With the habit of collapsing the opposing team’s pocket by attacking through the interior of the line, it was no surprise that Gerald McCoy was named an All-American in 2008 by both The Sporting News and Sports Illustrated. One year later the Oklahoma City native followed up the performance by becoming Oklahoma’s latest consensus All-American and the 35th two-time All-American in OU history. Both years saw McCoy as the anchor of the Sooners’ defensive tackle rotation, leading the group and finishing second on the team each year in sacks. McCoy’s presence was never more felt than in the 2009 FedEx BCS National Championship game where he constantly harassed the Florida offense while grabbing his first career interception. Year

A consensus All-American in both 2007 and 2008, Duke Robinson built a reputation as one of the best offensive linemen to pass through Norman.

2026 OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL

For a definition of a breakout season, see Curtis Lofton, 2007. In his first season atop the depth chart, the junior from Kingfisher, Okla., put together one of the top seasons ever for an Oklahoma linebacker and was rewarded with a consensus All-American tag. Lofton led Oklahoma with 156 tackles, sixth-best in program history, and established a school record with nine double-digit tackles including a career-high 18 tackles in the team’s first meeting against Missouri. The 2007 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, Lofton had a knack for forcing critical turnovers against big time opponents, never more evident than his interception of Missouri’s Chase Daniel in the Big 12 Championship. The one season of stardom paid off for Lofton, as the linebacker was OU’s first selection in the 2008 NFL Draft, going in the third round to the Atlanta Falcons. Year

Alexander had 36 starts in his career, including every game of the 2006 and 2005 seasons. He played in 39 total games for the Sooners from 2003-06 after redshirting in 2002. The 2006 Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Year, Alexander became the first OU player to lead the team in tackles in back-to-back seasons since Rocky Calmus did so in three consecutive seasons from 1999-2001.

Adrian Peterson set an NCAA freshman rushing record for most rushing yards with the third-highest figure in the nation for the season. He also eclipsed the OU standard for most rushing yards in a season. Peterson had what was then the highest finish ever by a freshman in the Heisman voting (second) and was the first freshman to be named a finalist for the Doak Walker Award. He was a consensus All-American. Peterson broke three NCAA freshman rushing records: most consecutive 100-yard rushing games (9), most total 100-yard rushing games (11) and most rushing attempts by a freshman with 314. Year

2004 • VINCE CARTER • C A two-time finalist for the Rimington Award as the nation’s top center, Vince Carter was a four-year fixture at Oklahoma. He was rewarded as a senior when he was named to the prestigious Walter Camp All-America team. The Waco, Texas, native stepped in as a freshman when Josh Smith went out with an injury in 2001 and went on to start at center for the Sooners for four seasons. He earned first-team All-Big 12 Conference honors in 2003 and 2004. As a senior in 2004, Carter helped pave the way for running back Adrian Peterson and protected quarterback Jason White — both Heisman Trophy finalists — as the Sooners completed a second consecutive undefeated regular season and won the 2004 Big 12 Conference Championship.

ADRIAN PETERSON u   A consensus first-team All-American in 2004,

he set NCAA freshman records that season for rushing yards (1,925), 100-yard rushing games (11) and consecutive 100-yard rushing games (nine). He was also the Heisman Trophy runner-up.

Dan Cody was so destructive as a senior that OU coaches devised a special position for him. Cody, at times, stood up from his defensive end spot to play a spinner role. In that capacity, he roamed the defensive front and menaced opposing offenses. At season’s end, he had the top sack total in the Big 12 with 10 and a spot on the FWAA’s All-America team. Cody was a two-time finalist for the Hendricks Award who was noted for his all-out effort. Year

* Received a medical hardship

Noted as one of the great stories of progress in OU history, Mark Clayton went from struggling to bench press 135 pounds in his first workout to twice being named an All-American. By the time his career was over, he held virtually every Sooner receiving record and was widely regarded as the best to ever play the position at the school. After a wildly successful junior year, Clayton’s numbers dipped somewhat as a senior, but that was attributable to an improved running game and a deeper receiving corps. He still led OU in receptions and yards and was named to the AFCA All-America team. Moreover, when punt returner Antonio Perkins was injured, Clayton added that role and took back one for a touchdown at Oklahoma State. As a junior, Clayton built a reputation as perhaps the most elusive receiver in the nation with 533 yards after catch. He set OU standards with 83 receptions for 1,425 yards and broke the school mark for receiving yards in a game with 190 against Texas. Year

2003 & 2004 • JAMMAL BROWN • OT A dominating senior season led to Jammal Brown earning Oklahoma’s fourth Outland Trophy. He followed that up as a first-round pick (No. 13) by the New Orleans Saints. He did not allow a sack or hurry during the regular season while logging a team-best 130 knockdown blocks. At season’s end Brown was a consensus All-American. As a junior, Brown had the highest line grade in a year when the offense had one of the most productive seasons in school history. The performance landed the Lawton native on the American Football Coaches Association’s first team All-America squad. Brown had 127 knockdowns and ran his string of consecutive starts to 28 during the season.

Derrick Strait duplicated former OU great Roy Williams by winning the Nagurski (best defensive player) and Thorpe (best defensive back) Awards in 2003.

The Austin native ignited Oklahoma’s 65-13 win over Texas in 2003 with a season-high 11 tackles, an interception, a 30-yard return, two fumble recoveries and three pass deflections against the Longhorns. Strait was a Thorpe Award semifinalist and consensus first team All-Big 12 selection in 2002. He started every game at corner and tied for the OU lead with six interceptions. He contributed immediately as a redshirt freshman and was named Big 12 Conference Defensive Newcomer of the Year in OU's 2000 national championship season. Year

From two reconstructive knee surgeries in successive years to consensus All-American. That was the out-of-the-blue story for Jason White, who wasn’t even announced as the team’s starter until the summer before the 2003 season. He posted mind-boggling numbers, the most impressive of which were the 40 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions. White proved particularly adept at completing the long ball and set a school season record with 17 hookups of 40 or more yards. He completed 50 percent or more of his passes in all but two games and was over 60 percent nine times, including 16-of-21 against Texas and 16-of-18 vs. Texas A&M. He fired five TD strikes against both Iowa State and A&M and had a career-high 394 passing yards against Texas Tech. Year

2002 & 2003 • TOMMIE HARRIS • DT

Antonio Perkins became the nation’s most feared punt returner by re-writing the NCAA record book during his junior season. He set an NCAA mark with four returns for touchdowns on the season, including an NCAA-record three against UCLA.

Tommie Harris rose to the pinnacle of his position in his junior season, which would be his last at OU. He departed for the NFL after just three years in Norman. As a junior, he continued to rocket into opposing backfields with his uncanny quickness. Harris had 10 tackles for loss and 19 quarterback hurries.

He also set an NCAA mark with 277 punt return yards against the Bruins. His other touchdown return, which tied the NCAA career mark at seven, came against Missouri. The returns were spectacular too, with lengths of 84, 74 and 65 against UCLA and 65 against Missouri.

After finishing as a finalist for the Lombardi Award one year earlier, he won the coveted piece of hardware in his final Sooner season. He also was one of four finalists for the Nagurski Award, which went to teammate Derrick Strait. Harris’ sophomore season was impressive despite an injury. Slowed by a groin pull suffered in August, he still faced regular double teams.

Perkins, who also started every game at cornerback and had two interceptions on the season, finished No. 20 in the nation in return average, but that figure was diluted by the fact that his 53 attempts out-distanced the rest of the country’s returners by at least eight.

Harris was named to three All-America squads and was named a finalist for the Bednarik Award. He was the 14th overall selection in the 2004 draft by the Chicago Bears.

Free safety Brandon Everage earned All-America honors after a stellar junior campaign in 2002. Six interceptions, with 107 yards in returns, would indicate that Everage understood the centerfield nature of his position. The 94 tackles, third-most on the team, speak to the linebacker-like mentality with which the Oklahoma free safety played. It was that combination of abilities that landed Everage on the All-America rolls. Everage recorded 60 tackles in 2003 (44 solo) including four for loss and one sack. He also nabbed one interception with four passes broken up. Year

Most punters are known for the length and/or the accuracy of their kicks. Jeff Ferguson was outstanding in both areas. But Ferguson separated himself with athletic ability and intelligent play that made him the complete player at his position. He ended his career as the school record holder for punting average in a career and became just the second player in school history to average more than 40 yards in each of his four seasons. The length of the kicks did not come at the expense of accuracy. Twenty-one of his 71 senior season punts were downed inside the 20-yard line. The thunderous punts and the balls that trickled dead deep in enemy territory will be secondary as time remembers Ferguson’s career, though. In his junior season, he made a brilliant play in the national championship game against Florida State, turning a bad snap into a safety rather than an opportunity for the Seminoles to get back into the game by recovering the ball in the end zone.

2002 & 2003 • TEDDY LEHMAN • LB Determining the greatest linebacker in OU history is a tough chore. With Teddy Lehman in the mix, determining the fastest is much easier. That speed, which made him an outstanding high school sprinter, set the Sooner backer apart from his peers. He capped a brilliant career by winning the Butkus and Bednarik Awards after finishing as a finalist for each just one year earlier. His ability to get from sideline to sideline caught a lot of attention...and ball carriers. As a senior, he had 117 tackles, including 19 for 47 yards in losses. As a junior, Lehman logged 112 tackles, including 17 for loss. He also had two interceptions, which went for 51 yards in returns, including one that set up the go-ahead touchdown against Texas. His one-yard return against Texas as a sophomore, the one that came on the back end of a play that saw Roy Williams leap a blocker to disrupt Longhorn QB Chris Simms, is one of the most memorable plays in school history. He was picked in the second round of the 2004 draft by the Detroit Lions. Year

2001 • FRANK ROMERO • OT Frank Romero didn't take the conventional path to All-America status. A tight end and defensive lineman in high school, he never played on the offensive line until his sophomore year at OU. He started the team's final four games that season (Bob Stoops' first as head coach) before starting all 13 games at left tackle in 2000 as the Sooners went undefeated and claimed their seventh national title. As a senior in 2001, he again started all 13 games and earned All-America honors from CNNSI as OU went 11-2 and won the Cotton Bowl. Romero, who played on the defensive line and made 19 tackles as a freshman in 1998 under head coach John Blake, switched to the other side of the ball during 1999 training camp due to a lack of depth on the offensive line. By the time he finished his collegiate career he had racked up a string of 30 consecutive starts under coordinators Mike Leach and Mark Mangino, helping the Sooners to a 26-4 record in those contests. The Moore, Okla., product was a two-time first-team All-Big 12 pick (2000 and '01), and protected 2000 AP Player of the Year and Heisman Trophy runner-up Josh Heupel.

FIRST-TEAM ALL-AMERICANS 93 NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS • 169 ALL-AMERICANS • 7 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS

2001 • ROY WILLIAMS • SS

2000 • JOSH HEUPEL • QB

By the time his career was over, Roy Williams was more feared by offensive opponents and more respected by his defensive peers than any player in the country.

The runner-up for the 2000 Heisman Trophy, Josh Heupel became Oklahoma’s first consensus All-America quarterback and the first Sooner QB to earn All-America honors since Jack Mildren in 1971.

In his final season at Oklahoma, he won the Nagurski Award as the nation’s top defender and the Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back. He was No. 7 in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest finish of the year by a non-quarterback.

As team captain his two years with the Sooners, Heupel is largely credited with turning an offense that statistically ranked as one of the worst in the nation before his arrival into one of the country's most explosive.

Williams bypassed his senior season of eligibility to enter the NFL draft, but still left his mark on the OU record book. He was drafted in the first round (No. 8 pick overall) in the 2002 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. Year

2000 & 2001 • ROCKY CALMUS • LB Only a few players define their position, but that is precisely what Rocky Calmus meant to college football. As a senior, he won the Dick Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker, but also was a finalist for the Nagurski and Bednarik Awards as the nation’s best defender and the Lombardi Award as the country’s top interior player. His senior year total of 117 tackles vaulted him into Oklahoma’s top five career tacklers and capped an incredible career. As a junior, he was named the toughest player in college football by The Sporting News during the Sooners’ 2000 national championship season. OU’s all-time leader in tackles for a loss by a linebacker, Calmus was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press and was a finalist for the Butkus Award. A first-team All-Big 12 selection in each of his last three seasons, Calmus led the squad in tackles in each of those years. He was drafted in the third round of the 2002 draft by the Tennessee Titans.

2000 • J.T. THATCHER • FS/PR/KR A standout on both defense and special teams, J.T. Thatcher was named an All-American as both a defensive back and returner. The Mosi Tatupu Special Teams Player of the Year Award winner, Thatcher was one of only seven players to return two or more punts for a touchdown in 2000 and ranked ninth nationally in punt return average. A four-time Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week selection, Thatcher set OU’s single-game (160) and single-season (599) records for punt return yards. He also posted the second-highest single-game kickoff return yard total with 150, including a 93-yard return to set up OU’s go-ahead touchdown against second-ranked Kansas State. Thatcher was a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award and tied school records for interceptions in a game (3) and season (8).

NOTING OU'S ALL-AMERICANS • Since the year 2000, Oklahoma has produced 48 first-team All-Americans. Of the 48, 29 were consensus picks. Before 2000, the Sooners had not produced a consensus All-American since 1988. • The most total All-Americans in one season came in 1974 and 1975 when eight Sooners were so honored. There were seven during the 2003 season. • In 2003, OU set a record when six Sooners were named to the FWAA All-America team. • Oklahoma had at least one All-American in 18 consecutive seasons from 1971 to 1988. There was also a 14-year stretch from 1946 to 1959. • Three sets of brothers have been All-Americans at OU: Lee Roy, Dewey and Lucious Selmon all earned the honor, as did Steve and Tinker Owens and Buddy and Kurt Burris. • Eight Sooner All-Americans went on to serve as assistant coaches at OU: Leon Cross, Eddie Crowder, Frank “Pop” Ivy, Claude Reeds, J.D. Roberts, Lucious Selmon, Jackie Shipp and Josh Heupel.

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT 7 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS • 50 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS • 59 BOWL APPEARANCES

JOSEPH HARROZ JR. PRESIDENT, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA

S

erving the University of Oklahoma for over 30 years in various leadership roles, Joseph Harroz Jr. was named the 15th president of OU on May 9, 2020. Harroz’s previous service to the university includes a one-year term as interim president, nine years as dean of the College of Law, 12 years as general counsel and two years as vice president for executive affairs. Under Harroz’s leadership, OU has ambitiously pursued the fulfillment of its “Lead On, University” Strategic Plan, sparking an era of excellence and elevating OU’s position as a top-tier public research university. Continuing this bold trajectory, the next phase of the Strategic Plan embraces transformative new aspirations that reaffirm OU’s commitment to the highest levels of academic excellence, research innovation, student success, patient care and service to our state and beyond. Learn more at ou.edu/leadon. OU continues to lead the state by attracting students in record numbers. The university is on track for a fourth straight year of record Oklahoma freshman enrollment and a sixth consecutive record total freshman class. Across all OU campuses, Fall 2025 enrollment increased 5.8% over the previous year — the university’s fastest growth in half a century. This unprecedented growth reflects what students and families see in OU: a place where excellence, opportunity, and affordability converge. As the state’s leading research enterprise and largest engine of discovery, OU is advancing an impact-focused vision for research that strengthens Oklahoma and changes lives. Research at OU has grown more than 70% in six years, making OU one of the fastest-growing research universities in the nation.

THE HARROZ FAMILY OU Health has emerged as a national model for transformation, delivering world-class health care, training tomorrow’s health professionals and driving discoveries that redefine medicine. An abundance of other successes have come to life since the Strategic Plan’s introduction — the announcement of a historic $2 billion fundraising campaign, a continued focus on balancing excellence with affordability, the addition of premier freshman housing, entering the SEC and more. A native Oklahoman, Harroz graduated Phi Beta Kappa from OU in 1989 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and a minor in zoology. He earned his J.D. in 1992 from Georgetown University Law Center. Harroz, a grandson of Lebanese immigrants to Oklahoma, is father to Joseph, Zara and Jude, and is married to Ashley Harroz.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS 93 NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS • 169 ALL-AMERICANS • 7 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS

ROGER DENNY

VICE PRESIDENT FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS PROGRAMS AND DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

A

key appointment at a defining moment in college sports, Roger Denny was announced as the University of Oklahoma’s Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Programs and Director of Athletics on Jan. 23, 2026. He began his term Feb. 15, 2026. Oklahoma’s 12th athletics director, Denny experienced immediate competitive success upon his arrival in Norman, as OU earned four conference championships (men’s and women’s gymnastics, softball and women’s tennis) and two national titles (women’s gymnastics and baseball). Additionally, OU student-athletes registered a program-record 3.33 cumulative GPA during the spring semester, with each of the Sooners’ 19 sports programs posting better than a 3.00 cumulative GPA. Denny was a successful corporate attorney for nearly 15 years before transitioning to college sports administration. He came to OU from the University of Illinois, where he was hired as Chief Operating Officer and Executive Senior Associate Athletics Director, and later earned the title of Deputy Director of Athletics. From the time he arrived in Champaign-Urbana in 2021, he oversaw business strategy and department operations and was a key player in one of the most dramatic turnaround stories in college athletics. At Illinois, Denny served as sport administrator for football, which set a two-year program record by winning 19 games over the 2024 and ‘25 seasons. The school’s four-year growth in season ticket sales, student season tickets and average attendance over his term was among the best in the country. The Fighting Illini men’s basketball program was also highly successful during Denny’s U of I tenure, winning a regular season Big Ten championship and two conference tournament titles, and the women’s basketball program experienced a national resurgence by averaging over 20 wins from the 2022-23 through 2024-25 seasons (it averaged nine victories the previous seven years) and making two NCAA Tournament appearances. Denny oversaw all athletics business operations at Illinois, including a budget that approached $200 million, and played a central role in the department’s name-image-likeness strategy, which expanded opportunities for U of I student-athletes. He became increasingly involved in fundraising and was a key member of the team that secured a $100 million gift announced in

THE DENNY FAMILY fall 2025, the largest in school history. He also led Illinois’ facilities planning, highlighted by extensive upgrades to Gies Memorial Stadium, and served as the athletics department’s primary representative in all head coach contract negotiations. Also in his role as Chief Operating Officer, Denny supervised the department’s internal operations. Additional areas of oversight included human resources, data and business intelligence and sports technology. He also oversaw revenue operations roles, including corporate sponsorships and licensing, as well as public facilities, housing, parking and athletics camps and clinics. A tax lawyer by training, Denny’s expansive law practice included representation of clients in labor and employment negotiations, executive compensation structuring, corporate finance matters, mergers and acquisitions and licensing transactions. Immediately before joining the Illini, he was a partner at Spencer Fane LLP in St. Louis. His legal experience includes the representation of college athletics departments and sports businesses in a wide variety of complex transactions. Additionally, in collective bargaining matters, he performed management-side work with non-sports clients and talent-side work with athletes and entertainers. Denny earned a bachelor’s degree from Southeast Missouri State University, a law degree from St. Louis University and an LLM in tax law from Washington University in St. Louis. A North Carolina native who moved to Missouri as a youth, Denny and his wife, Alecia, have twin sons, Trey and Michael.

SOONER TRADITIONS 7 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS • 50 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS • 59 BOWL APPEARANCES

OKLAHOMA SOONERS

While many people know the nickname Oklahoma Sooners is uniquely linked to the University of Oklahoma and has become synonymous with excellence, some aren't aware of the roots, which reach to our state's Indian Territory origins. Originally the home of several tribal nations of the Southern Plains, Congress set aside Indian Territory in 1830 as part of its forcible relocation of numerous tribal nations from their ancestral homelands via the Trail of Tears. Following the U.S. Civil War, some tribal nations lost portions of their new land in Indian Territory due to renegotiated treaties, which became known as the Unassigned Lands. Pioneers, known as Boomers, vigorously campaigned to settle the Unassigned Lands, which were later incorporated into Oklahoma Territory. Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory became known as the Twin Territories. Famously, Oklahoma Territory was opened for settlement through land claims races, or Land Runs, and in 1889, thousands made their way to the Twin Territories to participate in the first of these dramatic events. Each race began with a pistol shot, and those who jumped the gun were called Sooners. Later, Indian Territory was opened for non-native settlement, and in 1907 the Twin Territories were merged into one state – Oklahoma – which is the joining of two Choctaw words, "okla" and "homma," meaning "red people" or American Indian. Due to the enthusiasm of many pioneers and their descendants, Sooner came to denote energetic, "can-do" individuals. The university embraces the complexity of our heritage. OU athletics teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before the current Oklahoma Sooner nickname emerged in 1908. Taken together, Oklahoma Sooners reflects our state's American Indian and pioneer heritage and, today, symbolizes a special university spirit that values resilience and perseverance as well as the inclusivity that unites all who are a part of the University of Oklahoma family.

CRIMSON AND CREAM

In the fall of 1895, Miss May Overstreet was asked to chair a committee to select the colors of the university. The committee decided the colors should be crimson and cream and an elaborate display of the colors was draped above a platform before the student body. The students approved with great enthusiasm and immediately pennants, banners and decorations of every description appeared on the streets, in the windows, at chapel, in classrooms and all public places around campus.

SOONER SCHOONER

The Sooner Schooner is a Conestoga, or covered wagon, reminiscent of the mode of travel used by pioneers who settled Oklahoma. The Schooner is powered by matching white ponies named Boomer and Sooner, and it ventures onto Owen Field in a triumphant victory ride after OU scores. Although the Schooner was introduced in 1964, it did not become the official mascot until 1980. The Schooner is well-recognized by college athletics fans across the country and makes regular appearances at university functions.

BOOMER SOONER!

In 1905, Arthur M. Alden, a student in history and physiology whose father was a Norman jeweler, wrote the lyrics to the fight song, borrowing the tune from Yale University’s ‘Boola Boola’ but improvising the words. A year later, an addition was made to it from North Carolina’s ‘I’m a Tarheel Born’ and the two combined to form the university’s fight song today. Though the tune was first made known by Yale, the everlasting success of Sooner squads has taken the melody of ‘Boomer Sooner’ to national popularity.

OKLAHOMA! OU CHANT LYRICS

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A Our chant rolls on and on! Thousands strong Join heart and song In alma mater’s praise Of campus beautiful by day and night Of colors proudly gleaming Red and White ‘Neath a western sky OU’s chant will never die. Live on University!

2026 OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL

The Pride of Oklahoma plays perhaps the most popular and recognizable state song in history. Oklahoma! is the final rousing chorus of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s epic musical. Breaking all Broadway box office records when it opened in 1943, Oklahoma! was the first collaboration between the legendary pair who were awarded a Pulitzer Prize for their seminal work.

THE OU CHANT

Every fan who wears the official colors, each current student and studentathlete and all OU alumni are encouraged to stand and raise one finger in the air during the playing of the Chant – a symbolic gesture that shows the greatness of the university and the unity between all Sooners. The Chant was written in 1936 by Jessie Lone Clarkson Gilkey, who directed the OU girl’s glee club from 1936 to 1938 and was voted Outstanding Faculty Woman in 1937.
