OU to honor Hall of Fame inductees George Cumby and Sonny Brown at Saturday's Ole Miss game

NORMAN - The University of Oklahoma will recognize former Sooners George Cumby and Sonny Brown for their upcoming hall of fame inductions during Saturday's home game against Ole Miss, OU Athletics announced Tuesday, Nov. 10.

Cumby will be honored at halftime and Brown during a first-quarter timeout, with former OU coach Barry Switzer and hall of fame teammates taking part.

Cumby, a Tyler, Texas, linebacker who played for OU from 1975 to 1979, will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on Dec. 8 in Las Vegas. A unanimous All-American in 1979, he holds the school record of 32 career tackles in bowl games.

Brown, a defensive back from Alice, Texas, who played from 1982 to 1986, will enter the Orange Bowl Hall of Fame on Jan. 14 in Miami. The release credits him with a program-record five bowl interceptions over three Orange Bowls, two of them in the 25-10 win over Penn State on Jan. 1, 1986, that gave OU its sixth AP national title.

Oklahoma (5-4, 3-3 SEC) hosts Ole Miss (6-3, 4-3 SEC) at 3:15 p.m. CT Saturday, Nov. 14, on SEC Network. Related: Fasusi named SEC lineman of the week.
