Jon Velie, OU\u2019s Director of Rugby says, \u201cThis year\u2019s class is indicative of the great tradition of OU Rugby, our first coach Kieran Malloy, our first National Team player in Drew Allan, Our biggest international rugby star Michael DeJong, our most prestigious referee and former national women\u2019s team member Wendy Young and the longest serving referee and true character of Oklahoma rugby Lenny Burger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Head Coach Jason Horowitz stated, \u201cOklahoma\u2019s Rugby Hall of Fame provides the bridge between the rich tradition of Oklahoma\u2019s rugby past and the future success of today\u2019s student athletes. We have something special at OU where we invite those that competed for Oklahoma to come back and step on the pitch and compete again against our current squad. The 40th Anniversary will be a celebration of Oklahoma Rugby, a nod to its past with a view to its future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Al Jiboori, OU\u2019s captain, \u201cThe history of success at Oklahoma is not only appreciated it is expected. It will be an honor to watch those that played here before us receive their Hall of Fame jackets.\u201d<\/p>\n
