Brian Bosworth

He was a college star at the University of Oklahoma where he remains the only college football player to ever win the Butkus Award twice

Brian Keith Bosworth, widely known as "The Boz," is a former American football linebacker who made a significant impact both on and off the field. Born on March 9, 1965, Bosworth gained national attention during his college football career at the University of Oklahoma, where he was a two-time recipient of the prestigious Dick Butkus Award, given to the nation's top linebacker. His aggressive style of play, combined with his outspoken personality, made him a polarizing figure in the sport. Bosworth's brash attitude and controversial comments often kept him in the spotlight, making him one of the most talked-about players of his era.

Bosworth's professional football career began when he was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the first round of the 1987 NFL supplemental draft. Expectations were high for "The Boz" to dominate in the NFL, but his career was unfortunately cut short due to a shoulder injury. He played only three seasons with the Seahawks before being forced to retire. Despite the brevity of his NFL career, Bosworth's larger-than-life persona and his contributions to the game during his college years left a lasting impression on football fans and analysts alike.

After retiring from football, Bosworth transitioned into a successful acting career. He appeared in several films, including the 1991 action movie "Stone Cold," where he played the lead role. His transition from the gridiron to Hollywood allowed him to maintain his public presence, and he became a recognizable figure in the entertainment industry. While his football career may have been short-lived, Bosworth's ability to reinvent himself as an actor demonstrated his versatility and resilience.

In recognition of his outstanding college football career, Bosworth was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2015. This honor solidified his legacy as one of the greatest linebackers in college football history. His impact on the game, both as a player and as a cultural figure, continues to be remembered by fans and sports historians. Bosworth's story is one of talent, controversy, and reinvention, making him a unique figure in the world of sports and entertainment.
