In a major announcement that celebrates a storied legacy, the University of Oklahoma will honor former quarterback Sam Bradford with a statue at Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, according to ESPN. The statue will commemorate Bradford’s remarkable college career and lasting impact on the Sooners’ football program.
Bradford, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2008, led the Sooners to a national championship game and left an indelible mark on Oklahoma football. Known for his precision passing, leadership, and football IQ, Bradford threw for over 8,400 yards and 88 touchdowns in just three seasons. His legacy helped elevate Oklahoma’s national prominence and inspired a generation of quarterbacks to follow in his footsteps.
University officials stated the statue will be unveiled during the upcoming season, with Bradford expected to attend the ceremony. It will join monuments honoring other OU legends such as Billy Sims, Jason White, and Baker Mayfield.
This tribute not only cements Bradford’s place among Oklahoma greats but also reflects the program’s commitment to honoring athletes who exemplify excellence on and off the field. More details on the unveiling ceremony are expected in the coming weeks.
