OSU Athletics Adding Six to Hall of Honor

Six former Oklahoma State athletes are set to join OSU’s Hall of Honor in 2025.

Arlen Clark (men’s basketball), Alex Dieringer (wrestling), Hart Lee Dykes (football), Jaime Foutch (softball), Viktor Hovland (men’s golf) and Earl McCready (wrestling) are the 2025 inductees and will join the hall on Friday, Sept. 26 (the day before the Baylor football game).

Starting with the most recent, Hovland was at OSU from 2016 to 2019. He won the Ben Hogan award in 2019 and was a first-team All-American in 2018 and 2019. Hovland was a part of the Cowboys’ 2018 national championship team, and he won the U.S. Amateur while at OSU in 2018. Hovland has parlayed his success in Stillwater into a successful pro career, most notably winning the 2023 TOUR Championship.

Up until Monday, Dieringer was Oklahoma State’s most recent Hodge Trophy winner (the wrestling Heisman), but Wyatt Hendrickson earned the hardware for this season. Dieringer was a three-time NCAA champ and a four-time All-American during his OSU career that spanned from 2013 to 2016. He went 133-4 as a Cowboy, going 66-0 across his final two seasons. He won 82 matches in a row, the third-longest streak in program history.

Foutch was a first three-time All-American in Cowgirl softball’s history, collecting first team honors in 1997 and 1998. She finished her OSU career with a .401 batting average and set OSU program records in hits, RBIs, doubles and home runs.

Dykes was the Big Eight’s career leader in receiving yards before being a first round pick in the 1989 NFL Draft. He was a consensus All-American in 1988, averaging 120.1 receiving yards a game. Dykes caught 224 passes for 3,510 yards in his OSU career. That yardage total still ranks fourth in program history, and Dykes did that at a time where the ball wasn’t getting thrown nearly as much as it is nowadays.

Clark was a two-time All-American on the hardwood, playing at OSU from 1956-59. He averaged 20.4 points per game during his senior season. That season saw him set a single-game record for consecutive free-thr0ws made when he went 24-for-24 in a game. He finished his career averaging 15.3 points a game and shot 84.9% from the foul line.

McCready was a hammer for Ed Gallagher’s wrestling team back from 1928-30. He was the first three-time national champ in the sports history and won all his matches (all but three via pinfall). McCready was also a three-year letterman for the OSU football team. He competed in the 1928 Olympics for Canada.
