No. 4 — Jason White

Jason White is truly a college football legend, and him being fourth on this list feels truly disrespectful. So, if you read this Jason, I am so sorry.

White led the Sooners to back-to-back national championship game appearances in 2003, and 2004. He won the Heisman Trophy in 2003 and finished third in the Heisman voting in 2004. Oklahoma has not had an undefeated regular season since the two Jason White led.

Oklahoma may have gone to a third national championship game under White, had he not been injured so often, including when he went down against No. 1 Nebraska in 2001. At the time, the Sooners had the lead. Speaking of injuries, unfortunately, White’s pro career became impossible because of how many knee injuries he suffered. His knees simply wouldn’t hold up.

But No. 18 was special for the Crimson and Cream. White threw for 75 TDs and only 19 interceptions in his only two (relatively) healthy years in 2003 and 2004. He will eventually be in the College Football Hall of Fame.
