📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Called To The Hall. Ringggg. Ringgggg. Mr. Blackmon, you’ve got a call on line 1.

On Monday afternoon, it became official. Justin Blackmon will be the eighth Cowboy inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 class.

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.

Blackmon will join OSU’s seven previous representatives already in the Hall -
– 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).

🔺 Tuesday Tussle With Tech. Winners of five of six and coming off taking a top-15 team in the country to OT, the Cowboys will look to continue their strong play on the road.

The Orange & Black hit the court tonight in Lubbock to battle Tech in a Big 12 showdown. Tip time is set for 7 p.m.
