Dewey Selmon was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on Tuesday night in Las Vegas. Selmon became Oklahoma’s 24th former player in the College Hall of Fame. A native of Eufaula and longtime Norman resident, Selmon finished his OU career with 325 tackles, 25 tackles for loss (for 109 yards), three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

In a 16-13 win over Texas in 1974, he registered 22 tackles, which still stands as the single-game school record by a defensive lineman. He also holds the OU bowl record for tackles by a defensive lineman (13) in a 14-6 Orange Bowl win over Michigan that gave the Sooners the national title. Selmon is one of just five OU defensive linemen with 100-plus single-season tackles twice (104 in 1974 and 123 in 1975).
