Blackmon to Join Cowboy Football Ring of Honor

STILLWATER - Former Oklahoma State wide receiver and College Football Hall of Fame inductee Justin Blackmon will be added to the Cowboy Football Ring of Honor inside Boone Pickens Stadium on November 15 when OSU hosts Kansas State.

One of only two players in history to win two Fred Biletnikoff Awards, Blackmon is one of the most dominant wide receivers to ever play college football.

Blackmon was unquestionably the best receiver in America in both 2010 and 2011, winning the Biletnikoff Awards after both his sophomore and junior seasons. His 1,782 receiving yards in 2010 set an NCAA sophomore record, and his 20 touchdown receptions in 2010 were the seventh-most ever recorded. He also holds NCAA records with 14-straight games with at least 100 receiving yards and 14-straight games with at least 100 receiving yards and a touchdown. In his career he amassed totals of 253 receptions for 3,564 receiving yards and 42 touchdowns.

In addition to those honors, Blackmon is the only two-time unanimous All-America selection in Oklahoma State history. He was the 2010 FBS leader in receiving yards per game and receiving touchdowns and named the 2010 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.

As a junior in 2011, Blackmon was the primary focus of every defense that OSU faced, but he still made 122 catches for 1,522 yards with 18 touchdowns. His 122 receptions set the 13th-highest total in NCAA history and he was named offensive MVP of both the 2010 Alamo Bowl and the 2012 Fiesta Bowl. Following his collegiate career, he was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Blackmon is one of eight representatives from Oklahoma State in the College Football Hall of Fame, joined by coach Lynn "Pappy" Waldorf (inducted in 1966), Bob Fenimore (inducted in 1972), Barry Sanders (inducted in 2003), Thurman Thomas (inducted in 2008), coach Jimmy Johnson (inducted in 2012), Leslie O'Neal (inducted in 2020) and Terry Miller (inducted in 2022).

Blackmon also holds membership in the OSU Athletics Hall of Honor. Now, he joins Thurman Thomas, Barry Sanders, Bob Fenimore, Terry Miller and Leslie O'Neal as members of the Cowboy Football Ring of Honor.
