Beers Named Mackey Award Semifinalist
NORMAN — University of Oklahoma tight end Rocky Beers has been named one of nine semifinalists for the 2026 John Mackey Award, which recognizes the nation's most outstanding collegiate tight end, the Nassau County Sports Commission announced Wednesday.
In his first season at Oklahoma and sixth year of college football, Beers leads SEC tight ends with his 57.6 receiving yards per game (ranks fifth nationally) and his four touchdown receptions. He has played in all nine games and made six starts, and ranks second on the team with his 38 catches and 518 receiving yards. His four TD receptions are the most by an OU tight end in a season since 2022 when Brayden Willis had seven in 13 games.
