🔺 The Hall Call. Anytime you can put Hall of Famer next to your name, you’ve had quite a career.

Thats a new line on the resume of Cowboy legend Daniel Cormier, who was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame this past weekend as part of the Class of 2024.

Cormier was a key piece of the Cowboy lineup in 2000 and 2001, compiling a 52-10 career record with 36 bonus-point wins. Qualifying for the NCAA Championships twice, Cormier's final campaign saw him become an All-American as the national runner-up at 184 pounds. Oklahoma State also celebrated Big 12 team titles in both of Cormier's seasons as he reached back-to-back finals at the conference meet.

Following his collegiate career, Cormier found even more success on the freestyle circuit, representing the United States on the World level every year from 2003 to 2008. A two-time Olympic qualifier, he placed fourth in 2004 and was expected to medal four years later but ultimately dropped out just before the tournament due to illness. Cormier's six-year run included four appearances at the World Championships as well, which was highlighted by a bronze medal in 2007.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: Joe Buck.

Buck was Oklahoma A&M's first baseball All-American, earning that honor when he was selected to the American Baseball Coaches Association first team in 1951.

During that All-American season, Buck led the Aggies with a .382 batting average and 22 RBI. He also led the team with six home runs, six doubles and a .735 slugging percentage.

After his Oklahoma A&M career, Buck signed a professional contract with the Boston Red Sox, and in 1992, he was in the first class inducted into the Oklahoma State Cowboy Baseball Hall of Fame.
