2013 SPRING FOOTBALL NOTESSooners Among BCS’ Best • Among teams from BCS conferences, only Alabama (61) and Oregon (56) have registered more wins than Oklahoma (52) over the past five years .

• Over the past five years, no Big 12 team has a better overall (52-15) or conference record (32-10) than Oklahoma .

• Oklahoma, Alabama, LSU, Oregon and Stanford are the only schools hailing from a BCS conference that have won 10 or more games each of the past three years .

• Since the arrival of Bob Stoops at OU in 1999, no team from a BCS conference has more victories than Oklahoma (149) .

More Key Stats on Bob Stoops• Stoops owns a 149-36 ( .805) career record . He ranks second in OU history in career wins, needing only nine more to overtake Barry Switzer (157) for the Sooners’ all-time lead .

• Oklahoma played in a school-record 14th consecutive bowl game under Stoops following the 2012 season, the fifth-longest active streak in the nation .

• Only Florida (22), Virginia Tech (20), Georgia (16) and Georgia Tech (16) own longer active streaks of consecutive bowl appearances recognized by the NCAA .

10-Win Campaigns• Stoops ‘ 11 double-digit win seasons in his first 14 campaigns as a head coach are unmatched among active FBS coaches .

2013 OUTLOOK

Another New ChapterThe 15th season of the Bob Stoops era at Oklahoma will usher in another new chapter in Sooners history. Stoops owns a 149-37 mark at OU and is only nine wins shy of eclipsing Barry Switzer for the most victories in school history. Oklahoma is coming its eighth Big 12 title under Stoops and a second consecutive 10-3 campaign.

Expectations are always high in Norman, and rightfully so. OU has registered 11 seasons with 10 or more wins under Stoops and no team in the nation can boast more all-time 10-win seasons than Oklahoma (34). The Sooners will face a challenging 2013 schedule that features 11 opponents that appeared in bowl games last season. That slate also includes six home contests against bowl participants, as well as a non-conference road trek to Notre Dame.

While there were many key departures from the 2012 roster, no vacancy will be scrutinized more closely than the quarterback position, where a number of players will compete to replace Landry Jones, who started a school-record 50 contests. The last time the Sooners experienced an off-season quarterback duel was in 2007 when Sam Bradford emerged to throw 36 touchdowns en route to winning a Heisman Trophy a year later with a 50-touchdown campaign. The Sooners’ spring signal-calling candidates in 2013 include Blake Bell, Trevor Knight and Kendal Thompson. Freshman Cody Thomas will join the club in the fall.

Defensively, consensus All-Big 12 cornerback Aaron Colvin headlines a unit that ranked second in the conference by permitting only 206.1 passing yards per game. Competition will abound on the defensive front, where the only incumbent starter is junior defensive end Chuka Ndulue. Senior linebacker Corey Nelson returns to lead a linebacking corps that should also see a wealth of competition for playing time, while senior Gabe Lynn is back at the nickel position.

Special teams were a source of strength and consistency in 2012, a trend the Sooners would like to see continue in 2013. Oklahoma ranked in the top eight nationally in both punt and kickoff return average a year ago. Running backs Brennan Clay and Roy Finch are both back to return kickoffs, while wide receiver Jalen Saunders returns for his senior campaign. Both Finch and Saunders registered touchdowns in the

return phase last season. Kicker Michael Hunnicutt is back for his junior campaign, while JUCO transfer Jed Barnett is the leading candidate to replace punter Tress Way, who concluded his OU tenure with the best career punting average (43.95) in school annals.

High expectations, a challenging schedule, a quarterback competition and position battles abounding across the depth chart - all of this sounds likes the makings of an exciting spring in Norman. But Stoops and his staff have been here before and know fully that the expectation of winning championships remains firm among the Oklahoma faithful.

The OffenseReplacing the Big 12’s all-time leader in passing and total offense is no easy chore. Landry Jones registered 39 victories during his illustrious OU career, throwing for 16,646 yards and 123 touchdowns. But waiting in the wings are players with diverse skill sets that the coaching staff is eager to exploit.

The ground game should continue to be an area of strength as the club’s two leading rushers return from 2012. Last season, running backs Damien Williams (946 yards, 11 TDs) and Brennan Clay (555 yards, 7 TDs) combined for 1,501 yards and 17 rushing scores. Meanwhile, All-Big 12 performer Trey Millard returns and is regarded as one of the league’s most versatile performers. While a rash of injuries on the offensive front necessitated the need for new combinations of players to contribute in 2012, that experience should pay dividends in 2013. All-Big 12 center Gabe Ikard, Bronson Irwin, Tyrus Thompson and Adam Shead started a combined 73 games last season, while Ty Darlington opened one contest at center. The biggest void to fill is the starting left tackle spot manned by All-Big Second Team pick, Lane Johnson.

QUARTERBACKSThe Sooners have a solid track record when it comes to the game’s marquee position. Oklahoma has won eight Big 12 titles with six different starting signal callers during the Stoops era. While no current passer on the OU roster has starting experience, Oklahoma is far from inexperienced in the passing game.

2013 OUTLOOK

No matter who takes the helm at quarterback in 2013, don’t expect OU’s penchant for passing to change. Watching for the potential evolution of more production in the ground game from the quarterback position may be a storyline worth following in the spring.

Junior Blake Bell earned the backup role behind Jones during 2012 spring drills largely due to his proficiency as a passer. But it has been his ability to move the chains and score touchdowns as a runner that has gotten him on the field the past two seasons. Bell owns 104 career carries for 372 yards (3.6 avg.) with 24 TDs, including a 55-yard scoring jaunt last year vs. Baylor (11/10/12).

The competition between Bell, sophomore Kendal Thompson and redshirt freshman Trevor Knight will unquestionably be one of the biggest storylines of the spring as Thompson and Knight have both earned high praise from the coaching staff for their practice work in 2012.

RUNNING BACKSLast fall, junior college transfer Damien Williams quickly caught the attention of his coaches and teammates in practice. Sooner fans got a glimpse of skills as he registered back-to-back 100-yard games to open the season. Williams earned All-Big 12 Second Team accolades and finished the year with 946 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns.

Multi-talented senior fullback Trey Millard was an All-Big First Team selection in 2012. Whether he lines up in the backfield or as a tight end, he is a big-play threat. Millard averaged 6.0 yards per carry and 11.2 yards per reception in 2012, racking up a career-high 156 receiving yards in a win vs. Texas (10/13). Former walk-on Aaron Ripkowski also returns at fullback after earning a scholarship for his contributions last season.

While Williams was slowed by an ankle injury in 2012, Brennan Clay stepped up to produce a 156-yard game at Iowa State (11/3/12) and score the game-winning TD in overtime vs. Oklahoma State (11/24/12). Senior Roy Finch worked as a hybrid a year ago, seeing action in the backfield, in the slot and as a return man.

Redshirt freshmen Daniel Brooks, Alex Ross and David Smith showcased their skills on the scout team in 2012 and will get plenty of carries in the spring. Freshman Keith Ford is slated to arrive in the fall.

RECEIvERSThe receiving corps was one of the Sooners biggest question marks heading into the 2012 campaign, and by season’s end it was one of OU’s strong suits. While the club’s two top pass catchers from a year ago - Kenny Stills and Justin Brown - have both departed, a talented corps of pass catchers remains on the roster.

Senior Jalen Saunders returns after accumulating 62 catches for 829 yards and three TDs in the final nine games of the 2012 campaign. Sterling Shepard hauled in 45 passes for 621 yards and three scores as a true freshman. Lacoltan Bester returns for his senior season, while Trey Metoyer and Durron Neal are back for their sophomore years. Redshirt freshman Derrick Woods will also compete for playing time. Senior Jaz Reynolds did not play in 2012, but will continue practicing in the spring.

In addition to Millard, who often lined up at tight end in 2012, senior Brannon Green returns. Redshirt freshmen Taylor McNamara and Sam Grant should also figure into the TE competition.

OFFENSIvE LINEAll-Big 12 First Team selection Gabe Ikard anchored the offensive front at center last season, but also owns experience at left guard. Ty Darlington opened one game at center last season as a true freshman when Ikard was injured, giving the Sooners another viable option at center.

Left tackle Lane Johnson is the only starting member of the o-line who has departed. Junior Tyrus Thompson started games at both tackle positions a year ago, while junior Daryl Williams logged 10 starts at right tackle before suffering a season-ending knee injury. JUCO transfer Josiah St. John adds another big body in the tackle mix along with sophomore Derek Farniok.

Senior Bronson Irwin opened all 13 games at right guard and junior Adam Shead started every contest at left guard last season. Also returning is Tyler Evans, who is coming off a knee injury suffered in fall camp last year. Evans started 13 games at right guard in 2011. Senior Austin Woods provides depth on the interior of the offensive front back after overcoming a battle with Hodgin’s Lymphoma in 2012. Sophomore Nila Kasitati is among a host of talented underclassmen on the interior of the offensive front.

The DefenseMike Stoops is back for year two of his return engagement as Oklahoma’s defensive coordinator. In 2012, his squad held seven opponents to 21 points or less, while ranking second in the Big 12 in pass defense by permitting 206.1 yards per game. The club extended its streak of consecutive seasons with a defensive TD to 14. During his six seasons as defensive coordinator for the Sooners, the club has racked up a total of 19 defensive touchdowns.

The defensive unit is headlined by senior cornerback Aaron Colvin, who earned All-Big 12 honors a year ago and will be a preseason All-America candiate in 2013. While All-America Second Team pick Tony Jefferson departed for the NFL following his junior campaign and a pair of All-Big 12 Second Team selections have graduated in defensive end David King and cornerback Demontre Hurst, a wealth of talent remains on the roster. Several members of a strong recruiting class could also make immediate impacts.

DEFENSIvE LINESenior David King anchored the defensive front a year ago along with fellow seniors Jamarkus McFarland and Casey Walker. Defensive end R.J. Washington has also graduated, leaving the door wide open for a host of younger players to take advantage of an opportunity.

Defensive end Chuka Ndulue returns for his junior campaign after earning All-Big 12 Second Team honors from the Waco Tribune-Herald a year ago. Ndulue started 10 contests, producing 45 tackles and 5.0 sacks last season.

Rashod Favors also owns experience at linebacker and will join fellow junior Geneo Grissom at defensive end in spring drills. After redshirting in 2012, JUCO transfer Chaz Nelson could make an impact, as well. Mike Onouha, who played in four games as a true freshman, and Charles Tapper, who saw duty in five contests as a true freshman, have both shown flashes of their vast potential and could be contenders to join Ndulue for playing time at the defensive end posts with strong springs. Sophomore P.L. Lindley also makes the move to end from linebacker in the spring. Early enrollee D.J. Ward will be a spring participant, while a number of talented incoming freshman will join the Sooners in the fall.

Competition will also be wide open at the defensive tackle post. Sophomore Jordan Phillips saw duty in 11 contests last year and is the most experienced returning member of the interior line group. Junior Torrea Peterson also returns, as does redshirt freshman Jordan Wade. JUCO transfer Quincy Russell is anticipated to join the team for fall drills in addition to a trio of incoming freshman.

LINEBACKERSThe Sooners moved to a nickel defense as their base alignment in 2012, meaning athletic and versatile performers became an even bigger necessity in the linebacker corps. Fortunately for OU, there are a host of performers who fit that bill and could fill a variety of roles for the team in 2013. Spring drills will provide an opportunity to work players in a number of different positions to find the best combinations.

Senior Corey Nelson brings a wealth of experience to the linebacker corps, seeing action in 40 games with 22 career starts. Nelson’s 126 career tackles (62 solo), 13.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks also lead all OU returnees at linebacker. Junior Aaron Franklin worked behind Nelson at outside linebacker and has seen duty in 23 career contests. Joseph Ibiloye and Jaydan Bird have both departed after each saw action in 51 games apiece in four campaigns with the Sooners.

Sophomore Frank Shannon could be a candidate to play either outside or middle linebacker for the Sooners in 2013. Shannon came on strong down the stretch a year ago, seeing action in 12 games (two starts), finishing the year with 40 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks. Shannon may be a leading contender to replace the interior spot vacated by Tom Wort, who declared for the NFL Draft with a season of eligiblity remaining.

Other notable returnees in the linebacker corps include Eric Striker, who could make a push for playing time with a strong spring. Striker saw action in all 13 games as a true freshman in 2012, racking up six tackles vs. Kansas (10/20/12).

Former fullback Marshall Musil, who is coming off a knee injury, is expected to work with the linebacker corps in the spring, as well. Freshman Dominique Alexander and Jordan Evans will join OU for fall drills.

2013 OUTLOOK

AARON COLv IN


1 1


DEFENSIvE BACKSAll-Big 12 cornerback Aaron Colvin returns for his senior campaign and could be poised a big year after successfully making the transition from safety to right corner in 2012. Colvin has started 26 career games and tied for second in the conference with four INTs last season. He also added a team-high 11 passes defensed.

The starting post across from Colvin will be wide open after the departure of Demontre Hurst and his back-up, Lamar Harris. All three players who manned the club’s nickel position return are back, and it’s within the realm of possibility that any of those three could work at left corner in the spring in addition to taking snaps at nickel.

Senior Gabe Lynn started 10 games at nickel last season, registering 37 tackles (29 solo). The versatile Lynn owns 4.5 career tackles for loss and could potentially work at either safety spot or the nickel position in the spring.

Junior Julian Wilson also returns and was a versatile performer in the secondary a year ago, producing 31 tackles and five passes defensed. Senior Kass Everett played in 11 games last season after joining the club as a JUCO transfer.

A host of other defensive backs will be looking to crack the lineup at either left corner, the nickel position or in one of the team’s sub-defenses. Cortez Johnson sat out the 2012 campaign after transferring from the University of Arizona, where Mike Stoops was his head coach. Johnson started a pair of games for the Wildcats as a true freshman in 2011.

Sophomore Gary Simon, Redshirt freshman Zack Sanchez, senior Trey Franks and junior Quentin Hayes could all get a look there in the spring.

At strong safety All-America Second Team pick Tony Jefferson declared for the NFL Draft with a year of eligiblity remaining. Jefferson led the squad with 119 tackles (85 solo) in 2012. Starting free safety Javon Harris has graduated, creating an opportunity at both positions in the back of the defense. Harris paced the Sooners with six INTs a year ago and was second on the squad with 86 tackles (58 solo). One area where the incoming freshman class could make an immediate impact is in the secondary. Safety Hatari Byrd and cornerback L.J.

Moore were both consensus four-star prospects after stellar prep careers in California and will be on campus for fall practice. Tulsa native Stanvon Taylor was also a consensus four-star selection at cornerback. Meanwhile, early enrollee, Ahmad Thomas, is already in Norman and should see plenty of time working at cornerback during spring ball.

The Special TeamsKICKERJunior Michael Hunnicutt returns after hitting on 81.0 percent (17 of 21) of his field goal attempts last season. Hunnicutt has connected on 38 of 45 FGs (84.4%) and is 75.0% (6 of 8) from 40 yards or longer. Hunnicutt is also the top candidate to handle the kickoff chores with the graduation of Patrick O’Hara, who handled those duties for much of 2012.

PUNTERTress Way finished his OU career boasting the best career punting average of any player in Sooners history, making his consistent ways a tough act to follow. Oklahoma believes it may have found the man for the job in JUCO transfer Jed Barnett. Barnett originally enrolled at California before transferring to Laney College. Boasting a strong leg and exceptional hang time, Barnett will be challenged by Dylan Seibert and Jack Steed in the spring.

RETURN MENRunning backs Brennan Clay and Roy Finch split the kickoff return chores in 2012 and both players return this spring. Finch broke loose for a 100-yard kickoff return TD vs. Kansas (10/20/12). While departed wide receiver Justin Brown handled the bulk of the punt return chores, wide receiver Jalen Saunders is back for another season. The explosive Saunders had an 81-yard punt return TD vs. Oklahoma State (11/24/12). Plenty of other capable performers will likely audition for both return roles.

SNAPPERS Senior Austin Woods has snapped for placements the last two seasons. and could get the opportunity to snap on both placekicks and punts. Incumbent punt snapper Daniel Franklin has graduated, opening that position for competition.

BOB STOOPS HEAD COACH | 15TH SEASON | 149-37 (.801) RECORD AT OKLAHOMA

Bob Stoops has registered 149 career wins, needing only nine more to surpass Barry Switzer (157) for the most victories in Oklahoma history, meaning the Sooners’ head coach is poised to attain another historic milestone in 2013.

Quantifying the lasting impact that Stoops has made on Oklahoma is the easy part. He has led the Sooners to a school-record 14 consecutive bowl berths and eight Big 12 titles. Even though Stoops didn’t arrive in Norman until the Big 12 was three years old, he already has coached the program to more than twice as many championships as any other school in the league.

Putting Stoops’ accomplishments and remarkable consistency in the proper national perspective isn’t difficult, either. Among schools from BCS conferences, only Alabama (61) and Oregon (56) have compiled more victories over the past five seasons than Oklahoma (52), while only LSU and Stanford can join those three schools in boasting 10 or more victories each of the past three campaigns.

The only head coach to reach all four BCS games and the BCS National Championship Game, Stoops has guided the Sooners to four appearances in a national title contest, claiming college football’s crown in 2000. Of Stoops’ 14 bowl appearances with the Sooners, eight of those games have been of the BCS variety. No team from a BCS conference can claim more victories from 1999 to 2012 than the 149 wins registered by Oklahoma under Stoops’ direction. In terms of longevity, only Virginia Tech’s Frank Beamer (1987), Troy’s Larry Blakeney (1991) and Texas’ Mack Brown (1998) have been at their respective posts longer. Add it all up, and it’s easy to see why ESPN the Magazine named Oklahoma the top college football program of the BCS era in 2012. During his remarkable run in Norman, Stoops has picked up 17 coach of the year citations, including eight on the national level (only five coaches nationally have won more conference coach of the year awards), and watched six assistant coaches move into Football Bowl Subdivision head coaching positions.

Over the past 14 seasons, no team from a BCS conference owns more victories or a better winning percentage than Oklahoma (149-37, .801). Among active collegiate coaches, only Ohio State’s Urban Meyer owns a better winning percentage at .835 (116-23)).

Under Stoops’ direction, the Sooners have posted 11 seasons with 10 or more wins in his 14 years at OU. Prior to his arrival in 1999, the proud Sooner program was five years removed from a winning record and hadn’t registered double-digit victories since 1987.

Stoops reached 100 victories faster than any coach in college football history, an average of 10.6 per season, including a 46-22 mark against opponents ranked among the Associated Press Top 25. He enters his 30th season in the coaching profession and his 15th as a head coach in 2013.

Among clubs that have competed at the FBS level every season since 1999, no club has scored more points per game than Oklahoma (37.1), while only Southern California (420) has forced more turnovers than the Sooners (410). Over that same span under Stoops, Oklahoma leads the nation with 1,215 third-down conversions and is third among FBS programs with 431 TD passes.

Two Heisman winners and five Heisman finalists have been characteristic of the talent Stoops and his staff have attracted. The offenses have been among the best in college football history (the 2008 team was the first to score 60 or more points in five straight games en route to scoring an NCAA-record 716 points).

The Oklahoma defense has been stingy and is the only program to produce two players who won the Thorpe and Nagurski Awards in the same season. The Sooners have also been opportunistic, registering at least one defensive TD in each of his 14 seasons at the helm in Norman.

The kicking game has also been an integral part of Oklahoma’s success under Stoops. During his tenure, the Sooners have registered 29 touchdowns and four safeties on special teams. In 2012, Oklahoma registered a punt and a kickoff return for touchdown in the same game for the first time in the school’s illustrious history.

Stoops has been characterized as a grounded family man, big-game coach, relentless recruiter, strong leader and a person with uncommon perspective.

His success emanates from a disciplined style true to his roots in the Steel Valley of Ohio, but he is far from inflexible. The principles to which he holds are the tried and true axioms of the sport mixed with cutting-edge strategy and an appreciation for the calculated risk.

The son of a coach, Stoops was a four-year starter at Iowa. He began his coaching career in 1983 as a volunteer in the Hawkeye program under Hayden Fry, working through the ranks until he became co-defensive coordinator at Kansas State (1991-95). There he played a key role in one of the most impressive turnarounds in college football history while serving on Bill Snyder’s staff.

Eventually, he left for Florida and a three-year stint as Steve Spurrier’s defensive coordinator. It was with the Gators, and a national championship team in 1996, that the spotlight found Stoops and made him one of the hottest names in the profession. His hiring at Oklahoma was one for the ages.

Coaching Accomplishments• Stoops is 149-37 over the last 14 seasons. He is 92-22 vs. the Big 12, 7-1 in the Big 12 title game, 57-15 vs. non-conference opponents, 81-5 at home, 45-18 on the road and 23-14 on neutral fields.

• OU has set four NCAA records and set or tied 112 school records under Stoops, not including bowl bests and marks specific to a particular position. Among those marks are passing for a game, season and career; receiving for a game, season and career; rushing for a season, all-purpose yards for a career and scoring for a career.

HEAD COACHTHE STOOPS FAMILY

• Stoops has authored two of the seven longest winning streaks in Oklahoma history. His 2000 and 2001 teams combined to win 20 straight, while the 2002 and 2003 teams combined to reel off 14 in a row. Those victories all came against FBS opponents.

• Stoops’ squads have put together the school’s longest home field winning streak at 39. That’s also the ninth longest in the history of college football. Stoops also has fashioned two other streaks of 19 straight.

• OU won the 2000 national championship, played for three more and captured eight Big 12 South crowns and eight Big 12 titles. Oklahoma has spent 30 weeks at No. 1 in the AP poll and a national-leading 20 weeks atop the BCS standings.

• Oklahoma has registered double-digit victories in 121 of Stoops’ 185 games. The Sooners boast a 77-1 mark under Stoops when scoring 40 points or more.

• Oklahoma has played in 14 straight bowl games under Stoops. Never had an OU coach taken even his first three teams to bowls. Prior to Stoops’ arrival, OU had not played in one of what is now a BCS game since the 1988 Orange Bowl (1987 season). Stoops, in his second season, led OU to the 2001 Orange Bowl (2000 season).

• An OU player finished among the top seven in the Heisman voting six times on Stoops’ watch: Sam Bradford (No. 1 in 2008), Adrian Peterson (No. 2 in 2004), Jason White (No. 3 in 2004), Jason White (No. 1 in 2003), Roy Williams (No. 7 in 2001) and Josh Heupel (No. 2 in 2000).

• Under Stoops, OU has produced 33 All-Americans; two AP Players of the Year (Heupel, White); two Nagurski Award winners (Williams, Derrick Strait); two Thorpe Award winners (Williams, Strait); two Butkus Award winners (Rocky Calmus, Teddy Lehman); one Bednarik Award winner (Lehman); one Lombardi Award winner (Tommie Harris); one Walter Camp winner (Heupel); three O’Brien Award winners (Sam Bradford and White twice); a Maxwell Award winner (White); a Unitas Award winner (White); an Outland Trophy winner (Jammal Brown) and one Mosi Tatupu Award winner (J.T. Thatcher).

• All 86 home games of Stoops tenure have been sold out and the stadium capacity has been increased by some 9,000 seats since his arrival. In a state of 3.5 million people and two other FBS programs, attendance in Norman routinely exceeds 85,000.

• In 1996 and 1997, his Florida defense scored eight touchdowns. The 1996 Gators won the national championship. During his final four seasons at Kansas State, the Wildcats were a 35-12 and played in three bowl games.

2013 SigNiNg ClaSSThe 2013 University of Oklahoma recruiting class crossed international and state boundaries as the Sooners inked signees from five different states, in addition to one student-athlete from Canada. In total, Oklahoma announced 24 signees on National Signing Day. The class is comprised of 19 high school athletes and four junior college transfers, encompassing 10 different positions. Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops indicated he was pleased with the quality and quantity of athletes added to the program on signing day. “We’ve got great players across the board at all positions and all the positions we needed,” Stoops said. “As we recruit through the years, we always want a little bit of everybody. We need help at all positions, and I feel like we got that, in particular in the lines and a lot of skill athletes around them.”The state of Texas produced the most signees with 12, followed by Oklahoma with five student-athletes and California with three. In addition to one student-athlete from Canada, the Sooners signed one player each from the states of Florida, Michigan and Washington. The 15th signing class under Stoops featured seven defensive linemen, the highest total of any position group. In addition, the Sooners also added three offensive linemen. Stoops indicated that adding strong performers on both lines was a priority for the Sooners. Oklahoma also bolstered its skill positions with its 2013 signing class. The wide receiver unit added four student-athletes, and three cornerbacks joined the squad. Two linebackers, two safeties, one quarterback and one running back rounded out the 2013 group.Four new players are already attending classes at Oklahoma: punter Jed Barnett, wide receiver Dannon Cavil, safety Ahmad Thomas and defensive end D.J. Ward. The head coach also made a point to highlight the ability of Barnett, the lone specialist among OU’s 2013 signees.

SOONER TRadiTiONS




2013 OUTlOOk

What is a Sooner? Sports fans are hard-pressed to find a nickname that is as unique and as linked to a state’s history as a Sooner. The University of Oklahoma is the only school known as Sooners.

Oklahoma Territory opened with the Land Run of 1889. Settlers from across the globe, seeking free land, made their way to the prairies of the plains to stake their claim to a new life. One of the few rules to claiming a lot of land was that all participants were to start at the same time, on the boom of a cannon. Settlers who went too early were called “Sooners.”

OU athletic teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before the current Sooner nickname emerged in 1908. The university actually derived their name from a pep club called ‘The Sooner Rooters.’ The success of University of Oklahoma athletic teams over the years has made the nickname synonymous with winning.

Crimson & CreamIn 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 SchoonerThe 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 appear-ances 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!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 ChantEvery fan who wears the official colors, each current student and student-athlete 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.

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!

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Running back Damien Williams ran for 156 yards and four touchdowns in a record-setting Owen Field debut, Kenny Stills added 120 yards receiving and a score, and No. 5 Oklahoma beat Florida A&M 69-13. Williams’ rushing total was the most for a player in his first game at the Sooners’ home field, and he became only the fourth player at the school to eclipse 100 yards rushing in each of his first two games. Williams surpassed the record set just last year by Dominique Whaley, who ran for 136 yards in last year’s home opener against Tulsa.

69EL PASO, Texas (AP) -- Riding its defense all night and scoring a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter, No. 4 Oklahoma survived a scare by slogging out a 24-7 win over Texas-El Paso. Tied at halftime and up just 10-7 after three quarters, the Sooners finally created a gap from the gritty Miners by stuffing UTEP on a fake punt to set up an 18-yard touchdown pass to Brannon Green midway through the fourth quarter. They finally sealed it in the closing minutes, when Damien Williams burst through the right side and ran to the left pylon for a 65-yard touchdown run. Jones threw for 222 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 21 of 36 passing while Williams had 103 yards on 10 carries, giving the Sooners a respectable 204 yards on the ground with his big run late. Nathan Jeffery ran for 177 yards and returned a blocked punt 24 yards for a touchdown for UTEP, which also blocked a field goal to remain tied with Oklahoma at the half.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Landry Jones passed for two touchdowns, Blake Bell ran for two more and No. 17 Oklahoma beat Texas Tech 41-20, avenging a home loss to the Red Raiders last season. Both of Jones’ touchdown passes went for 13 yards -- one each to Justin Brown and Kenny Stills. Bell, in at quarterback, scored his touchdowns from a yard out. Javon Harris put the game out of reach midway through the third quarter when he returned an interception 46 yards for a TD to put the Sooners up 38-13. The Red Raiders had their worst defensive performance this year, giving up 380 total yards after coming in ranked No. 1 in the nation. The win was sweet for the Sooners, who lost 41-38 to the Red Raiders last season, a defeat that broke Oklahoma’s 39-game win streak in Norman. It was the first time the Sooners won in Lubbock since 2003.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- John Hubert ran for 130 yards and a touchdown, Jarell Childs scooped up a fumble and returned it for a score and No. 15 Kansas State beat No. 6 Oklahoma 24-19. Oklahoma held a 3-0 lead with the ball in the second quarter when a one-yard fumble return by Childs put the Wildcats ahead, 7-3. OU appeared poised to retake the lead, but fumbled on the Kansas State one-yard line, setting up a K-State field goal. In total, three Oklahoma turnovers led to 17 Kansas State points. Sooner quarterback Blake Bell put Oklahoma back on top 13-10 with five minutes remaining in the third quarter on a three-yard run for a touchdown, but 14-unanswered points by K-State were enough to hold on for the win. Collin Klein picked up 228 yards of total offense and ran for the go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter in a solid performance. Landry Jones threw for 298 yards and a late touchdown to get Oklahoma within five but Kansas State was able to run out the clock to pull out the victory.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Landry Jones threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns and No. 10 Oklahoma scored on a kickoff return and a punt return in the same game for the first time in school history while clobbering Kansas 52-7. Justin Brown made up for a lost fumble on his previous punt return by running his next chance back 90 yards and diving at the pylon for the score. Roy Finch then opened the second half with a 100-yard runback to stretch the lead to 45-0. The Brown-Finch combo marked the first time the Sooners (5-1, 3-1 Big 12) have had two plays at least 90 yards long in the same game. Brown and Finch helped that total with their unique double dip. Brown provided the Sooners’ first punt-return score since Ryan Broyles did it in 2009, and it had been an even longer drought on kickoff returns -- since DeMarco Murray’s score against Baylor in 2007. Jones and the first-team offense scored on their first six possessions -- settling for Michael Hunnicutt’s 37-yard field goal on their first drive and then scoring touchdowns on the next five.

DALLAS, Texas (AP) -- Damien Williams broke off a 95-yard touchdown run for the longest rush in Red River Rivalry history, Blake Bell powered his way in for four TDs and No. 13 Oklahoma beat No. 15 Texas 63-21 for its third straight victory in the series. Landry Jones threw for 321 yards and two touchdowns, and fullback Trey Millard had a career-best 119 yards receiving as the Sooners ended up with a 677-289 advantage in total yardage, with 343 yards on the ground. After Texas’ second of four straight three-and-outs to start the game, Williams zipped through a hole on the right side for the longest run in the rivalry’s 107 games. Millard then went hurdling over safety Mykkele Thompson to turn a short pass into a 73-yard gain and set up Bell’s third score as the Sooners reeled off 23 straight points in the second quarter.

AMES, Iowa (AP) -- Landry Jones threw for 405 yards and a season-high four touchdowns and No. 14 Oklahoma beat Iowa State 35-20, moving coach Bob Stoops into a second-place tie with Bud Wilkinson on the Sooners’ career win list. Stoops posted his 145th victory with Oklahoma. He is 12 wins shy of tying Barry Switzer for the most in school history. Brennan Clay, starting in place of an injured Damien Williams, ran for a career-best 157 yards as the Sooners bounced back from a loss to Notre Dame. Oklahoma (6-2, 4-1 Big 12) has won 20 straight following a defeat in the regular season. Jones’ 20-yard TD pass to Jalen Saunders to open the second half put the Sooners up 21-6. Oklahoma racked up 593 yards of offense, and put it away when Jones’ 31-yard TD pass to Kenny Stills made it 35-13 with 10:59 left.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Everett Golson threw for 177 yards and plunged in for the decisive 1-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, Manti Te’o registered a late interception and No. 5 Notre Dame beat No. 8 Oklahoma 30-13 to remain undefeated. Landry Jones threw for 356 yards for the Sooners (5-2), who were still clinging to hope they could get back in the national title race before the loss. Saunders tied a single-game school record with 15 receptions, registering a career-high 181 yards. Te’o and the second-ranked Irish defense frequently gave up underneath passes but prevented them from turning into big gains, making the Sooners snap the ball over and over while the Irish waited for a mistake that would snuff out the drive. Oklahoma’s first two red zone possessions ended with field goals, and the Sooners turned to backup quarterback Blake Bell and their “Belldozer” short-yardage run package to finally punch one in and tie it at 13 with 9:10 remaining. An Owen Field record crowd of 86,031, the most fans to ever witness a sporting event in Oklahoma state history, responded to the university’s request to “stripe the stadium,” with a candy-cane look of alternating red and white sections -- appropriately so with a cold snap running through Norman.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia couldn’t stop Oklahoma’s Landry Jones. Jones’ 5-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills with 24 seconds left lifted No. 13 Oklahoma to a 50-49 win over West Virginia. Jones finished with 554 yards passing to break his own school record. His six TD passes tied another mark he holds. Stills finished with 10 catches for 91 yards and four scores. Down by five with a fourth-and-3 at the 5, Jones changed the play at the line and found Stills on a slant for the go-ahead score with less than a minute left in the game.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Bob Stoops passed Bud Wilkinson on Oklahoma’s career victory list as No. 14 Oklahoma defeated Baylor 42-34. Landry Jones threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns, Damien Williams ran for 99 yards and two scores and Oklahoma limited Baylor to a season-low 172 yards passing in the victory. Blake Bell provided some breathing room with his 55-yard touchdown run out of the “Belldozer” short-yardage package -- the longest for an Oklahoma quarterback since Patrick Fletcher in 1998 -- that made it 42-26 with 14:14 remaining. The Bears, who entered the game with the nation’s top overall offense and top passing attack, were held more than 200 yards below their season average thanks to a stout Sooner defense. BU quarterback Nick Florence had a season low in passing yardage, getting held to 127 yards fewer than any other game this season. With the score at 28-26 late in the third quarter, OU put together a 75-yard drive capped by a 17-yard TD rush by Williams, then pulled ahead for good behind Bell’s long TD run one minute into the fourth.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Landry Jones threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns, Damien Williams ran untouched 66 yards for a score and Oklahoma held on to win 24-17 at TCU. TCU’s fourth-down pass to the goal-line in the final minute was well-defended and fell incomplete, giving the Sooners a share of the Big 12 title. It marked the eighth Big 12 title for Oklahoma (2012, 2010, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2004, 2002, 2000) and 44th conference title in program history. Oklahoma also notched its 34th 10-win season in program history, the most in the nation. Coach Bob Stoops has now registered 11 double-digit win seasons in his 14 years in Norman. Jones completed 22 of 40 passes after the first consecutive 500-yard passing games by a Sooners quarterback.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones threw three touchdown passes and Brennan Clay scored on an 18-yard run in overtime to lift the 14th-ranked Sooners to a 51-48 win against No. 22 Oklahoma State in the Bedlam rivalry’s first-ever overtime game. The Sooners never led during regulation, wiping out double-digit deficits in both halves. Backup quarterback Blake Bell tied it with four seconds left on a 4-yard keeper on fourth-and-1 after Jones directed the first 16 plays of an extended drive. With his second straight 500-yard passing game, Jones surpassed Texas Tech’s Graham Harrell to become the Big 12’s career passing leader. He also became the first FBS quarterback ever to throw for 3,000 yards and 26 touchdowns in four seasons.

Arlington, Texas -- The Sooners hung tough in the first half, and trailed Texas A&M by a 14-13 margin at intermission. The two clubs were evenly matched in the initial two quarters as the Aggies outgained Oklahoma by only a nine-yard margin (258-249). Unfortunately for OU, the second half was an entirely different story. Led by Heisman Trophy winner, quarterback Johnny Manziel, the Aggies racked up 27 unanswered points en route to a 41-13 victory at Cowboys Stadium. Manziel rushed for 229 yards and two touchdowns, while throwing for 287 yards and two more scores as he claimed the game’s MVP honors. OU’s initial two drives were haulted in the Red Zone and the Sooners were forced to settle for a pair of Michael Hunnicutt field goals. Oklahoma’s Landry Jones threw for 175 yards in the first half, connecting on a six-yard TD to wide receiver Justin Brown with 1:16 left in the second quarter to give the Sooners their only touchdown of the game. The Aggies forced the Sooners to go three-and-out on their first three offensive possessions of the second half, while Manziel led Texas A&M to three consecutive TD drives to effectively put the game out of reach with the Aggies holding a 34-13 lead after three quarters. Oklahoma mounted a drive deep into enemy territory to open the final stanza, but turned the ball over on downs at the Texas A&M 23-yard line with 12:03 left to play. Manziel responded by leading the Aggies on a seven-play, 74-yard touchdown drive to cap the evening and make the final count 41-13.

ThE unIVERsITyFlagship Educational Institution of the sooner stateThe University of Oklahoma is experiencing a golden era in the history of a great institution. The quality of new students is soaring and donor confidence is at an all-time high. Over the last 17 years, OU’s total endowment has grown to $1.8 billion, more than five fold since 1994.

For more than 10 years, he led the fight for congressional campaign finance reform and for legislation discouraging administration and congressional staff from cashing in on government experience and contacts by becoming lobbyists. In addition, he introduced legislation seeking to limit gifts and travel subsidies that government workers, including members of Congress, can receive from lobbyists. Boren also chaired the special 1992-93 Joint Committee on the Organiza-tion of Congress, which produced proposals to make Congress more efficient and responsive by streamlining congressional bureaucracy, reducing staff sizes and reforming procedures to end legislative gridlock.

Boren left the U.S. Senate in 1994 with an approval rating of 91 percent after being reelected with 83 percent of the vote in 1990, the highest percentage in the nation in a U.S. Senate contest in that election year.

Boren served from 1988 to 1997 as a member of the Yale University Board of Trustees. His university experience also includes four years on the faculty of Oklahoma Baptist University, where he was chairman of the Department of Political Science and chairman of the Division of Social Sciences. In 1993, the American Association of University Professors presented Boren with the Henry Yost Award as Education Advocate of the Year.

In April 2004, Boren received the Mory’s Cup from the Mory’s Association at Yale University. In making the presentation to Boren it was noted that he was the first Yale graduate in the university’s history extending over three centuries to have served as a Governor, U.S. Senator and President of a major university.

Under Boren’s leadership, the University of Oklahoma has developed and emerged as a “paceset-ter university in American public higher education,” with 20 major new programs initiated since his inauguration. They include establishment of the Joe C. and Carole Kerr McClendon Honors College, the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, a new expository writing program for freshmen modeled on the program at Harvard, an interdisciplinary religious studies program, the Artist-in-Residence Program, the International Programs Center, and the Faculty-in-Residence Program putting faculty family apartments in student residence halls. The Retired Professors Program has been started, bringing 50 retired full professors back to the University to teach freshmen.

The number of new facilities started or completed on the campus during the Boren years has matched the explosion in new programs. Since 1994, almost $1.9 billion in construction projects have been completed or are under way on OU’s three campuses. Among the largest of the recent projects are the $67 million National Weather Center on OU’s Norman campus, the $90 million OU Cancer Institute on OU’s Health Sciences Center campus in Oklahoma City and the $35 million OU-Tulsa Schusterman Center Clinic .

Presidential Travel Scholarships, students from 111 countries on campus, more reciprocal inter-national exchange agreements than any other university and the new International Programs Center are all making OU more international. The new Honors College helps to assure that no students need to leave Oklahoma to find an educational experience to match their potential.

In 1995, Boren launched the “Reach for Excellence” fundraising campaign with a five-year goal of $200 million, which was twice as large as any fundraising drive in Oklahoma history. The drive exceeded $500 million, raising OU into the top 15 public universities in the United States in private endowment per capita. Since 1994, endowed professorships have increased from 100 to 557 and the OU donor base has grown from 18,000 to more than 125,000 friends and alumni. During the first 10 years of Boren’s tenure over $1 billion in private gifts were donated to the university.

Above all, the Boren years have been marked by an emphasis on putting students first. There is not a university president in the country that is more committed to students as his number one priority. He teaches a freshman-level course in political science each semester and is one of the few presidents of major universities to teach.

Boren is married to Molly Shi Boren, a former judge and English teacher. Mrs. Boren is President Emeritus of the Oklahoma Arts Institute, which provides education programs in nine arts disciplines for high school students from across the state who are gifted in the arts. Molly Boren has two degrees from the University of Oklahoma, a master’s degree in English and a Juris Doctor-ate from the OU College of Law. A native of Seminole, Boren has two children, Carrie Christine Boren, an Episcopal minister, and David Daniel Boren, a member of the United States Congress from Oklahoma. Devoting much of his life to public service, Boren drew from the example of his parents, the late Congressman Lyle H. Boren and Christine Boren.

David L. Boren13th President, The University of Oklahoma

David L. Boren, who has served Oklahoma as governor and U.S. senator, became the thirteenth president of the University of Oklahoma in November 1994. He is the first person in state history to have served in all three positions.

Boren is widely respected for his academic credentials, his longtime support of education, and for his distinguished political career as a reformer of the American political system. A graduate of Yale University in 1963, Boren majored in American history, graduated in the top one percent of his class and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a master’s degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford University, England, in 1965.

In 1968, he received a law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, where he was on the Law Review, elected to the Order of the Coif, and won the Bledsoe Prize as the outstanding graduate by a vote of the faculty.

As Oklahoma’s governor from 1974 through 1978, Boren promoted key educational initiatives that have had an enduring impact on Oklahoma. Established during his tenure were the Okla-homa Arts Institute, the Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program, and the Oklahoma Physicians Manpower Training Program, which provides scholarships for medical students and medical per-sonnel who commit to practice in underserved rural areas. Also, the first state funding for Gifted and Talented classes was provided in 1976 and, from 1976 through 1978, Oklahoma ranked first among all states in the percentage increases of funding for higher education.

One of Boren’s most far-reaching projects in promoting quality education at all levels is the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, which he founded in 1985. The foundation recognizes outstanding public school students and teachers and helps establish private local foundations to help give academic endowment grants to local public schools. As a senator, he was the author of the National Security Education Act in 1992, which provides scholarships for study abroad and for learning additional languages, as well as legislation to restore the tax deductibility of gifts of appreciated property to universities in 1993.

Boren, also a former state legislator, spent nearly three decades in elective politics before becoming the president of the University of Oklahoma. Boren was the youngest governor in the nation when he served from 1974 to 1978. Known as a reformer, Boren campaigned with a broom as his symbol. During his term, he instituted many progressive programs, including conflict-of-interest rules, campaign-financing disclosure, stronger open meeting laws for public bodies, more competitive bidding on state government contracts, and reform of the state’s prison system, including expanded education programs for first-time offenders and the largest expansion of the work-release program in state history.

During his time in the U.S. Senate from 1979 to 1994, Boren served on the Senate Finance and Agriculture Committees and was the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. From his days as a state legislator and governor of Oklahoma to Washington, Boren carried a commitment to reform, leading numerous efforts to make government work better for American citizens. As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he strengthened oversight of secret government programs and reformed the procedures for Presidential notice of such programs to Congress.

Renaissance – A rebirth or renewal

The word “renaissance” has often been used to describe the University of Oklahoma since the arrival of David L. Boren as its 13th president. It’s no coincidence then that the same term could be used to describe the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and its leader, Joe Castiglione. Just as Boren has transformed the university community that the department is an integral part of, Castiglione, with the support of Boren and OU’s Board of Regents, has done the same thing with the athletics department, easily one of the most recognized representatives of the state’s flagship for higher education.

A department with a long tradition of excellence, there are some who would argue that the past 14 years represent the best of the best. With seven national championships and 49 conference titles, including five in the 2011-12 academic year, produced in his tenure, it would be hard to dispute that. A place where competitive dreams come true and academic goals are the expecta-tions, not the exceptions, has been created at OU. Through his leadership and the support of the University’s administration, there is a department-wide commitment, involving student-athletes, coaches and staff, to that standard.

The 11th director of athletics at OU, Castiglione arrived on the Sooner campus in 1998 and what he found was nothing like what you would see today. He made some big changes, and, in the process, created a team of administrators, coaches and support staff who have built a climate that pursues ambitious, if not, lofty goals, high standards and a commitment to ethical behavior that is second to none.

The emphasis has been and will always be on OU’s nearly 600 student-athletes who have flour-ished in the atmosphere, creating new levels of excellence in competition and in the classroom only to raise the bar in succeeding years. Their performances enhance the belief shared by Castiglione, the department’s staff and the university family that the best is yet to come.

Proof of the overall excellence of the program is demonstrated by the annual Learfield Director’s Cup rankings. A runner-up finish by the men’s gymnastics and softball teams helped OU continue its top 15 streak as the Sooners finished 14th in the 2011-12 standings. The Sooners broke into the top 10 for the first time in school history at the conclusion of the 2010-11 academic year after finishing 12th in 2009-10. That performance came after the department finished in the top 30 in nine of the previous 11 years, a sustained pattern of excellence not seen before in the history of one of the nation’s premier intercollegiate athletics departments.

For Castiglione, though, it’s not just about the championships and trophies. The victories that he celebrates with his Sooners include graduation rates that continue to climb, record-setting grade point averages and academic honors. The true measure of achievement for Castiglione and, by extension, the department’s coaches and staff, is measured in the success of the student-athletes in relation to the department’s mission statement “Inspiring champions today … Preparing leaders for tomorrow.”

Since arriving at OU in 1998 after an outstanding administrative career at Missouri, Castiglione has insisted that daily and long-term decisions be made in a financially responsible manner. The result of that commitment has helped the department close the books in the black in each of the last 14 years, making it one of the few Division I programs which remain totally self-sustaining. His understanding of how the department fits into the University’s academic mission led to a decision to increase the direct support provided by the department on an annual basis to $5 million dollars. Through direct and indirect support, OU Athletics, under Castiglione’s leadership, provides more than $8 million annually to OU’s Academics Budget. Facility improvement and construction has been carried out at a record pace and Castiglione takes pride to point out that those improvements have all been paid for with private money.

Castiglione is quick to give full credit to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff, OU President David L. Boren, the OU Board of Regents, the donors and the fans for the success experienced during his tenure. It was that commitment to a team approach emphasis that was one of the many qualities that that the search committee recognized when they recommended Castiglione to university administration in 1998.

In recognition of the performance of OU’s teams on the field and in the classroom, of the fiscal stability created during his tenure, the dramatic increases in donor giving, facility construction and renovations, and the cutting-edge programs that the department has begun during his tenure, Castiglione was named National Athletic Director of the Year in May 2009 by the Sports Business Journal.

That award was one of several earned by Castiglione and the department. The 2007 PRISM Award winner, presented by the School of Sports Management at the University of Massachusetts, OU was just the second Division I winner and all of the programs recognized by the selection panel were started under Castiglione’s leadership with the full support of university administration.

In November 2012, the United States Sports Academy named him the winner of the Carl Maddox Sports Management Award. In October 2004, the Bobby Dodd Foundation named him Athletics Director of the Year. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators Hall of Fame. In June 2001, he received the General Robert R. Neyland Athletic Director Award for lifetime achievement from the All-American Football Foundation. The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) named him Central Region AD of the Year in 2000.

The achievement that may bring him the most pride, though, came in May 2007 when he completed a master’s of education degree from OU. To understand the need for education and lifelong learning, OU’s student-athletes just have to look at their AD who started and completed his master’s degree while running the department and maintaining his priorities to his family. He quickly put his experience to use as an adjunct professor in the College of Education, teach-ing graduate classes in Marketing, Development and Leadership in Higher Education. He was recently named to the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education Board of Advocates.

Castiglione was instrumental in the athletics department’s major campaign, Great Expectations: The Campaign For Sooner Sports. The largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics history included projects that impact each of OU’s 21 sports and has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics. The campaign ended three years later with more than $125 million raised and that figure has grown to more than $330 million since then as funds continue to be raised for facility improvements, including $75 million Headington Hall student residence facility, and scholarship endowments.

Hired on April 30, 1998, Castiglione joined the Sooner family after serving as athletics director at Missouri. In his 17-year career with the Tigers, Castiglione, who was named director of athletics at Missouri on Dec. 15, 1993, was credited with rebuilding sports programs, hiring outstanding coaches, implementing an innovative master plan for facilities, inspiring record-setting increases in fund-raising and balancing the budget in each of his five years as athletics director.

A 1979 Maryland graduate, Castiglione received the University’s Distinguished Alumnus Award in April 2007. He began his career as the sports promotions director at Rice. He then worked a year as director of athletic fund-raising at Georgetown before being hired in 1981 at Missouri as director of communications and marketing.

His commitment to the success of student-athletes has gone beyond the Norman campus and he has served at the national and conference level. He was recently named to the United States Olympic Committee Athlete Career and Education Strategic Working Group. He serves on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, filling a term that ends following the 2012-2013 season. He chaired the NCAA’s Football Academic Progress Rate (APR) Working Group and is currently serving on the Gatorade Collegiate Advisory Board, the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Board of Directors and the NCAA Bowl Licensing Committee.

He served three terms as the chair of the Big 12 Board of Athletics Directors and is a past president of both the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association and NACDA. He served a four-year term on the NCAA Championship/Competition Cabinet and the NCAA Baseball Committee and is a past member of the NCAA Football Special Events Certification Committee. He recently served on the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic Planning Committee and the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group. He is currently serving on the NCAA Working Group on Collegiate Model-Rules Committee. A former member of the Phi Delta Theta Foundation Board of Trustees, he is a highly requested speaker at annual conventions and continuing education institutes. In November 2011, he was named to the Broward County (Fla.) Sports Hall of Fame.

His involvement in the local community has led to service with civic clubs, churches and charities, including the United Way of Norman. Castiglione recently served his third term as OU’s campus co-chair, which resulted in the highest recorded contributions ever by faculty, staff and students to the United Way of Norman’s annual campaign.

A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Castiglione is married to the former Kristen Bartel, a 1990 graduate of the University of Missouri. They are the parents of two sons, Joseph Robert, Jr. and Jonathan Edmund.
