CLEVELAND, Ohio (92.3 The Fan) – Baker Mayfield’s statue honoring him for winning the Heisman Trophy will be dedicated on April 23.
Oklahoma’s football program made the announcement Monday.
The dedication also coincides with the Sooners’ spring game.
“I'm a Sooner for life and incredibly grateful for all of the success my teammates and I had at OU,” Mayfield said in a statement released by the school. “It's humbling and surreal to think about having a statue in iconic Heisman Park. I can't wait to be back in Norman and reunite with the most passionate fans in college football.”
A two-time first-team All-American, Mayfield became the sixth Sooner to win the Heisman trophy in 2017 after throwing for 4,627 yards and 43 touchdowns to lead Oklahoma to a Big 12 title and the College Football Playoff.
The Browns selected Mayfield, who was a two-time college walk-on quarterback at Texas tech and Oklahoma, No. 1 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft.
