Former Okla. State quarterback, Brandon Weeden, will be one of three QB's for the South squad in this year's Senior Bowl, which is held in Mobile, AL.
Weeden was a second team All-Big 12 selection in 2011 after leading his team to a 12-1 record, Fiesta Bowl victory and number three national ranking. The Manning Award finalist finished the year ranked in the top five in every major passing category, including second in passing yards (4,727), second in passing yards per game (363.6), third in total offense (355.8 ypg), third in completions per game (31.4) and fourth in touchdown passes (37). He set the Oklahoma State single-season records for passing yards, total offense (4,625 yds), attempts (564), completions (408) and touchdown passes.
“It’s exciting. I’m excited about the opportunity to play against some of the best players in the country. It’s a huge honor to get an invite and it’s a good quarterback class and I’m just happy to be a part of the six,” Weeden said.
Weeden was 23-3 as a starter for the Cowboys and leaves Stillwater as the school’s all-time leader in passing yards (9,260), attempts (1,102), completions (766) and touchdown passes (75). He also holds the school mark for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass (24) and passing yards in a game (502). The 28-year old former professional baseball player totaled 16 career 300-yard passing games and seven 400-yard games.
