In a bold and heartfelt gesture that has stunned the college football world, NFL quarterback and former Oklahoma Sooner Baker Mayfield has made an unforgettable contribution to his alma mater. The Heisman Trophy winner and Oklahoma legend has donated two state-of-the-art luxury buses to the Oklahoma Sooners football program, and the message behind the gift is as powerful as the wheels on the road: “We built this legacy — let’s ride like it.”
The donation, valued at well over a million dollars, is more than just transportation — it’s a statement. Custom-wrapped in crimson and cream with the Sooner logo emblazoned boldly on each side, the buses are outfitted with plush interiors, reclining leather seats, entertainment systems, Wi-Fi, and cutting-edge safety features. These buses don’t just move athletes — they move a movement, symbolizing a commitment to excellence and a continuation of the culture Baker helped build during his time at OU.
Mayfield, who led the Sooners to multiple Big 12 championships and a College Football Playoff berth, spoke emotionally about what the program means to him. “Oklahoma shaped me, believed in me, and gave me everything,” he said. “This isn’t a donation. It’s a thank-you. It’s a promise that I’ll always be part of this family.”
The response from the OU community has been electric. Coaches, players, and fans alike are celebrating the gesture as a testament to loyalty and legacy. Head Coach Brent Venables praised Mayfield not only for his generosity but for his continued leadership and example to current players. “Baker isn’t just giving buses. He’s giving back with heart, and showing these boys what it means to be a true Sooner.”
In a world where headlines are often dominated by drama and controversy, this act reminds everyone that legacy isn’t just built on touchdowns—it’s built on impact. Baker Mayfield just showed once again why he’ll forever be a legend in Norman.
And now, with two sleek luxury rides rolling through Oklahoma, one thing’s clear: the Sooners aren’t just driving to their next game—they’re driving into the future.
