McSpadden, Tway and Owens join former Oklahoma football player Tom Catlin, All-Star pitcher Cal McLish and former Pittsburgh Steelers lineman Jon Kolb. McSpadden, Tway and Owens were recently voted in by the Jim Thorpe Association’s members, sportswriters and sportscasters, previous inductees and other Oklahoma professional athletes. The others were part of the original class voted in by the Hall of Fame’s Honors Committee.

McLish, an All-Star in 1959 with the Cleveland Indians, and Owens, who led Kansas to two Final Four appearances, were present for the announcement and were honored by the Oklahoma Senate on Tuesday.

All of the inductees will be enshrined in the hall of fame in an Aug. 3 ceremony in Oklahoma City.

Catlin, who won a national championship with the Sooners in 1950, and McSpadden both died within the past year and will be honored posthumously.
