Only one other school has as many Heisman trophy winners as the University of Oklahoma since the turn of the century.
Jason White’s 2003 Heisman season set the stage for the Sooners to become synonymous with high-level quarterback play and Heisman contention. Sam Bradford, Baker Mayfield, and Kyler Murray followed in White’s footsteps as winners of the award and have helped Oklahoma stake its claim as “QBU.”
During his Heisman-winning season, Jason White threw for 3,846 yards and 40 touchdowns in his first full season starting for the Sooners. He followed that 2003 performance with another strong season in 2004, throwing for 3,205 yards and 39 touchdowns.
Jason White will be in Norman on Saturday for a meet and greet as part of a series of events presented by Phillips 66.
As the Oklahoma Sooners prepare for this year’s Bedlam matchup with Oklahoma State in Norman on Saturday, Phillips 66 is sponsoring several pre-game activities in the build-up to Saturday night’s pivotal in-state showdown.
