Thirty years after becoming Oklahoma State’s first and only Heisman Trophy winner, Barry Sanders will return to Stillwater in another prominent position.
Sanders and the 1988 Oklahoma State offensive line will be the 2018 homecoming grand marshals, the OSU alumni association announced Tuesday. The homecoming game falls on Oct. 27 this season in the Cowboys’ game against Texas.
“1988 was such a special year for OSU football,” Sanders said in the release. “The fact that I get to celebrate the 30th anniversary at Homecoming with my coaches, teammates and of course our fans, is very special to me.
