Former NFL wide receiver Howard Twilley has passed away at the age of 81.
Twilley, a two-time All-American at Tulsa, won back-to-back Super Bowls with the Miami Dolphins in the pros.
The Houston, Texas native was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy in 1965 and was the UPI Lineman of the Year after a record-setting final season in which he recorded 134 receptions for 1,779 receiving yards. The records stood for 24 and 30 years, respectively.
Tulsa tweeted on Thursday that their former player was one of the greatest receivers in college football history.
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of Tulsa Football Legend and Hall of Famer, Howard Twilley,” they wrote. “Twilley was one of the greatest receivers in College Football history, setting numerous NCAA records before venturing to the NFL and winning two Super Bowls. Our hearts and sympathies are with Twilley’s family and his many friends.”
