Former Oklahoma State star Leslie O’Neal became the sixth former Cowboy to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on Wednesday. O’Neal is one of 17 players named to the 2020 class.
He joins Coach Lynn “Pappy” Walford (1966), Bob Fenimore (1972), Barry Sanders (2003), Thurman Thomas (2008) and coach Jimmy Johnson (2012) among former Oklahoma State figures already inducted into the hall, with 2020 ending a three-year run during which he was put on the ballot but not inducted.
O’Neal was a two-time All-American at OSU who is widely viewed as the program’s best edge rusher.
