Lee Roy Selmon followed older brothers Lucious and Dewey to Oklahoma and blossomed into arguably the best player in program history. Selmon helped lead the Sooners to a national championship as a junior and senior in 1974 and 1975. He started to come into his own as a sophomore with nine sacks but broke out in a big way with a career-high 18 sacks as a junior and made his first All-American team.

As a senior, Selmon recorded 10 sacks and a career-high 132 tackles to earn consensus All-American honors and win the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award. Selmon was the No. 1 pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their first-ever draft where he played defensive end and is in the College and Pro Football Hall of Fame.
