Born October 26, 1963, in Tulsa, Oklahoma - Defensive tackle Tony Casillas, who played for the Oklahoma Sooners, was a big part of the Sooners 1985 National Championship team. The NFF's website tells us that Tony was a two-time consensus First Team All-America selection and that Casillas became only the second Sooner ever to win the Lombardi Award after the 1985 season, which is given to the nation's top lineman. In 2004, the National Football Foundation selected Tony Casillas to enter the exclusive club of the College Football Hall of Fame. Tony was picked in the 1986 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. Twice named an All-Pro, he played 13 seasons in the NFL with three different teams and won two Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys.
