“For a guy who isn’t big in stature, it’s a big presence to replace.”

– OU coach Bob Stoops

Ryan Broyles stands 5 foot 10 and weighs 188 pounds, but the Sooners senior receiver cuts a much larger figure than that physical description. His college career ending this past weekend, because of a knee injury, Broyles will leave OU with 10 school records, as well as a handful of conference and national marks. His rise as a leader and as the NCAA's career receptions leader are a source of pride for the Oklahoma Sooners and their fans. Broyles, from Norman, caught 349 passes for 4,586 yards and 45 touchdowns for the Sooners.
