Happy birthday to former Tulsa East Central, University of Oklahoma and NFL defensive lineman Tony Casillas, born on this day in 1963 in Tulsa.
At East Central, Casillas was an All-State selection and was also named the Region 7 Defensive Player of the Year in 1980 after recording 56 tackles, 12 sacks and two fumble recoveries.
Casillas chose the University of Oklahoma over offers from Texas, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, UCLA, Notre Dame and Penn State.
His freshman season was derailed by an ankle injury, but after moving to nose guard in 1984, Casillas flourished. He was named first-team All-Big 8, consensus All-American, Big 8 Defensive Player of the Year and United Press International's National Lineman of the Year.
In 1985, Casillas helped lead the Sooners to a national championship, again being named All-American and first-team All-Big 8 and winning the Lombardi Award as the nation's top lineman. In his OU career, he finished with 213 tackles and 18 sacks.
He was selected by the Atlanta Falcons with the second overall pick in the 1986 NFL Draft and went on to a 12-year NFL career with the Falcons, Cowboys, Chiefs and Jets, winning two Super Bowls with the Cowboys.
He was named to the All-Rookie team in 1986 and was a second-team All-Pro in 1989.
In 2004, Casillas was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and in 2008 the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame.
Happy birthday Tony! #tdfn #okpreps @ECcardsFB @OU_Football
On this day in 1951, Muskogee's Preston Carpenter scored three touchdowns to lead the Roughers to a 31-13 win over Will Rogers at Tulsa's Skelly Stadium. Carpenter was an All-State selection later that year after helping Muskogee go 8-0-1, but because the Oklahoma Six was one of three major conferences to boycott the high school playoffs, the Roughers didn't have a chance to repeat as state champions. #tdfn #okpreps @RougherNation @MuskogeeA
