Oklahoma football: Remembering former Sooner RB Mike Gaddis

Gaddis played at Oklahoma, from 1988 to 1991. He saw action in only three of the four seasons, however, having to sit out the entire 1990 season recovering from a serious knee injury suffered the year before. His 2,726 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns ranks 13th among the career rushing leaders at Oklahoma.

Gaddis died Monday at his home in Oklahoma City after a lengthy illness. He was 50 years old.

The time Gaddis played at OU was a time of transition in Oklahoma football. He was recruited by legendary head coach Barry Switzer.
