Thirty years after he delivered arguably the greatest season in college football history, former Oklahoma State running back Barry Sanders will be honored as OSU's homecoming grand marshal, the OSU Alumni Association announced Tuesday.
Sanders won't be alone, as his 1988 offensive line, known as the "War Pigs," will join him. Behind the War Pigs, Sanders rushed for 2,850 yards with 42 touchdowns en route to becoming the only Heisman Trophy winner in the Cowboys' history. Sanders made the Pro Bowl each of his 10 NFL seasons, all with the Detroit Lions, and is a member of both the College Football Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame.
