Ontei Jones. Not for memorable plays or stats, but for passion. If everyone on the team had fire in their bellies like that guy did, we'd have a lot more than 7 national championships by now.
I would have to go with The Boz just because of his attitude and of course his play. I liked his swagger, but it did get to be a bit much at the end.
Honorable mention to Billy Brooks because he was awesome and I got to meet him on the street. Really cool dude.

No, I knew someone would break the intent of the post and name like 15 players. JJ.
Next thing you know someone will be posting gay posts and major league baseball answers in this post.....LOL
22, I truly believe Ontei and even Torrance Marshall were coached up by Mike Stoops. They bought into his game even with yelling. The Marshall interception against A&M was defensive coaching at it's finest and Jones was great during the FSU game and yep, MS was yelling at him the whole game .............JMO
OK ok lol. I'll go with boz. However I love watching Marshall talking to weinke during coin toss
I wish you had asked for Sooners by decade, but as it is I will go with Joe Washington.
True that Mike Stoops made a really good SS out of him. But he was flying all over the field like a mad man before Mike Stoops . Ontei was a linebacker and was tossed from the 1998 Iowa State game for tackling too hard. They called it unsportsmanlike conduct, but the officials were worried that someone was going to get killed.
Prentice Gautt.....OU's version of "Jackie Robinson".
Great player, and a good, intelligent and courageous person. He and Mickey Mantle were my childhood heroes.
I sometimes wonder if he was utilized as much as he should have been, or if the politics of that time may have limited him touching the ball more. I only saw him play in the 1958 and 1959 Texas games, the 1959 Orange Bowl and the 1959 Northwestern game, but his videos on youtube are great to watch. Check out his run in the opening minutes of the 1959 Orange Bowl with Syracuse.
Sort of surprised you selected Blake since he belldozed for 24 points in a an OU 63-21 win over the UT in 2012. I'll give you credit for recognizing his accomplishments that game.Blake.
I went back and gave you a "like" for your post.

Removed the like from your previous post. I was hoping you came in peace but your horns protruded from the halo you used to cover those devilish horns. I was aware of you true intent. B Bell came to my mind first. I had buried John Blake deep in the repository of my mind only to be ripped out.I mean the coach named Blake.

Gee Plaino, can't beleive I had forgotten about Griffin. I suppose football seems to dominate this board and B Bell and J Blake came to my mind first. Good catch.

I'm going decidedly contrarian a bit but, at least some honorable mention for Slingin' Sammie Bradford.
That year OU set the all time scoring record, 2008, Sam was in the zone with his Rock of Gibraltar o-line and several all star receivers.
It was a beautiful thing man.

Outside of that great hero, I'd go with Mark Schultz, 3X NCAA Champion, 4X World Champion, Olympic Gold Medal wrestler.
