OBU Athletics Hall of Fame

With 33 National Championships, three Learfield Sports Director’s Cup titles and well over 300 All-American honors in its history, being selected for the Hall of Fame at a program with the tradition of OBU is a tremendous honor.  

The criteria for selection varies by sport, but all OBU Athletics Hall of Fame members have been determined by the Hall of Fame Committee to have made significant contributions to the legacy of Bison Athletics during their time on Bison Hill.

Athletes are eligible for nomination five years after their class’s graduation, and must have conducted themselves in such a way as to bring honor to the institution, while exhibiting the qualities of character and standards of conduct consistent with their status as a role model in the community.

Through their efforts, these individuals have brought distinction to Oklahoma Baptist University Athletics and have earned this recognition which enhances the spirit, pride, and sense of athletic tradition of the university.
