- This is an interview with former All American linebacker and my all-time favorite Oklahoma Sooner Brian Bosworth from the Oklahoma Football Legends reunion which was taped in 2003. The Boz discusses everything from his recruiting story out of high school, his playing days at OU, to his wild antics on and off the field which he apologizes for how he conducted himself.

His sincerity here is a marvel. And great to see the camraderie between him and his old team.
The thing I love about OU and the state of Oklahoma is that everyone is so welcoming and respectful. When Brian started getting choked up when he was apologizing and the others said “hey man, it’s all good. We’ve all been there too.”, I got choked up too.
I have a lot of respect for a man who will admit to his own mistakes.
It will also make u feel better no one's perfect honesty and your word can't buy that!
Well said Frank!
Amen 🙏🏾
I always tell my sons and others to own up to your mistakes and sins and respond in a way to correct them. God's grace is bigger than any sin and mistakes. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My respect level for the Boz went straight up. Everyone makes mistakes. He's owning up to his.
Up until recently, I had only the vaguest idea who Bossworth is / was. Knew he played college / pro, more recently in films. With all the attention so many years after his playing days, taking a closer look. Apparently a cultural phenom, as well as athletic role model. Thank God he didn't pierced and tattooed like Rodman.
Ive been a fan of the Boz persona since I was 8 years old, and just today after watching the last minute of this at age of 42 I became a fan of the man Brian Bosworth, it takes one hell of a man to admit when he feels he was wrong, not just shoulder the blame but admit it and apologize for it. That is a hell of a man.
God bless you Mr Bosworth. That was a long time ago man. It's not where you're from, but where you're at and where you're going that matter. You're a real man now, taking care of business where it matters most (family) and you're still the meanest OU linebacker to step on the field. Much love from Seattle.
True that dude. Brian Bosworth even hates it nowadays when people call him Boz. He was just a kid then and there are multiple college athletes nowadays who are even worse.
Several years ago when my son played football he was switched to linebacker. I was showing him RUclips clips of great linebackers. When I was showing him clips of Boz at OU we kept having to replay all the plays to see where Boz was coming from. He just comes out of nowhere and makes the play with lightning speed. Fun to watch.
one of the classiest thing I saw was when the Boz gave that magazine to sterling shepard . Brian Bosworth is redeemed and has become the best repersentive of oklahoma football.
this definitely clears up a lot of misconceptions i've had about bosworth, he's grounded and a hard worker, and he's grown as a human being. that's all you can ask of anyone.
A REAL MAN CAN ADMIT HIS FAULTS. #RESPECT2BOZ!!!
To Brian Bosworth,I was a huge fan of yours.YOU were tough fast,and strong.A also hit that opposing hard.I really enjoyed your playing years.PEACE.JOHN Lambert.
Greatest college Linebacker I have ever seen.
One word, Dick Butkus!
Because he got ran over by bo Jackson he swore up and down he was going to stuff and contain Bo Jackson things turned out differently 😮

Bo was well downhill
by the time Boz had
slid over and squared up.
When they collided
both men were not
carrying equal forward
speed and momentum.
Great sense of humour. Barry Switzer is a hoot too. All those dudes seem like a good laugh.
I'm not sure if Brian or his father ever look at these posts but back in the day a really long time ago I met Brian at a club I didn't even know who he was and as I'm watching this video I remembered what a gentleman that he was and then I saw why what an amazing family just funny I remember you were so funny you were so polite and you were such a gentleman I've never forgot you or the $8 shot of white tequila and Alexander's Everett I don't think I believe that you were on a football team but I knew that you were funny to dance I'm glad you had such wonderful life I wish you all the best all the father's memories
Lifelong Husker - and Bosworth fan
The Boz was a hell of a football player
Brian is a hell of a guy
Thanks very much for sharing. I'm a fan of his movie Stone Cold.
Stone Cold is underrated!
Why would a person from Delaware grow up to be a SOONERS FAN ? Well please let me tell you in 2 words ... THE BOZ !! Loved you then , love you now . Best player I ever saw and if you were to open a Webster's Dictionary and looked up the word DOMINATION in college, #44 in OU RED is all you need to see . As far as mistakes WE ALL have made them and mistakes that are far worse then this man did as a early 20's year old who has admitted his wrongs and said sorry to the ones he hurt . last he has done alot of good . Thanks BOZ for everything I loved about you that took this kid from the tiny east coast and planted him in the Big 12 smack down in Norman OK wearing Red till this day !!
He and Barry were made for each other even in the E60 interview Boz said Barry was more of a dad to him. Still they fed off each other and they made it work.
I was a senior in high school during his freshman year @OU.
Brian Bosworth was an excellent linebacker from that first game against Pitt...
He played the way Dick Butkus Played
Boz was one of the best white Linebackers in college football in his day.roll tide.
I have always had a deep Respect for you Brian Bosworth, You were a great Football Player, a good Man, and great Father, Thank you for being apart of the Oklahoma Sooners Family - We love You and Respect You;
Man, watching him play at OU was incredible. Thanks for those memories Boz.
Same I loved the Boz....larger than life...
To brian bosworth i was a huge fan. I got the lines cut into my hair lk u did on the sides. U started a trend back then. U were tough and a heck of a linebacker. I admiredu alot and still do. Thanks for being real and admitting ur mistakes it takes a real man to do that. I no ur dad was tough on u from the interviews iv seen. Ur a good man brian keep the faith.
Bosworth was a beast. I remember the orange bowl 1986. That Miami team was NFL caliber. 8 future pro bowlers. Okla was overmatched, but Boz had 22 tackles and a sack, was all over the place like a madman.
Love ya BOZ! Cheers from Seattle!
What a great interview. Hilarious!
Best of the Best!
I have huge respect for Brian.
I respect people who’s willing to admit and own up for their mistakes. Sadly a lot of people in today’s society don’t want to do that and want to blame everybody else.
When you watch Brian’s highlights at OK he was obviously one of the best ever.. In contrast you could tell when he was on the NFL that the passion was gone and it the game wasn’t in his heart anymore.. He could’ve been just as great in the NFL but the motivation died when he left his Ok family..That is why I enjoy the college game so much more as they play with so much passion every week.. the NFL puts me to sleep..
Box Oklahoma loves you❤️❤️
Respect
Greatest linebacker ever! 👍🏈
Box was one of the best college players ever to play.
great program very funny very real good stuff.... boomer
The Boz was awesome m
Billy Simms is the best!
Boz will always be the sooner lineback that all other try to emulate.
Brian may have made some mistakes I'm not going to judge you on that I will say he was one hell of a linebacker it was fast and he could hit and he was a lot of fun to watch and I did every game he played. Stood behind his beliefs like when he tested positive for drugs and then retested and came out negative, he may have been a little extreme with his protest methods. He was never a problem other than just trying to grow up in his way. God bless him.
Admire Boz for saying this. I must correct Coach Switzerland though. Boz was arrested when he was a redshirt with 3 other OU players. It probably isn’t on his record, because the DA and the police chief swept it under the rug. He and 3 other team mates tried to buy merchandise with a stolen credit card. They were arrested and transported to jail and coach Switzerland himself came and picked them up. The whole case disappeared from the records.
One of the other players was a good player too. Paul Migliazo. Can’t remember how to spell his last name. I forget the other two players names.
No reason to apologize Boz, Oklahoma was a cesspool before and after you played there, you fit in perfectly !
Every boy should work for an old man whether it’s his grandpa or someone else.
brian is bigger than the BOZ
had someone stepped in earlier on in his college and pro days,he would have and probably could have been one of the greatest football players of his time with the right direction,,,an absolute football animal with a killer extinct,,only the rare great ones have that but he was channeled wrong
I wonder if there was alcohol in those flasks hahahaha!
💯🙏
so do i to the boz
Super point of attack lb, period. Between the whistles is when the business gets done.
Boz was a clown.
Brian Bosworth is a man.#44 🏈🇺🇸
stone cold 🔥
Always thought he was a bit of a clown, but it takes a man to sit there and say he is sorry for being an embarrassment. And I never thought if him as such, just a bit of a jerk off. But the coach is right, he graduated, no drugs no crime, sexual assaults, etc......
You wasn't going to get it at a&m...that's what youngsters call throwing shade
Here in Nebraska we have our list of sanctimonious thugs too..
Black White no problem joking around
Dude had Mad skills,, thought he would be extremely talented pro bowl caliber professional,what happened???????
Shoulder deterioration killed his career
Coming of age...
Then why couldn't you play well in the4 NFL???? Like a Reggie White or Favre....what's the point of being in OK star when you don';t go pro, like a real pro
Dude he had injuries that ended his career. That added with one stupid play where Bo Jackson "ran him over" (and Boz still made the tackle and Bo got 1 extra yard versus the 5 he would have got off anyone else) gave him a bad rep. Had he not been injured he would have had a very solid career.
@@nothx962 There are plenty of his professional career highlights on RUclips that say exactly that. I was in Seattle then and saw it. He was an extraordinary talent.
@@nothx962 - Exactly. If that had been a 3rd and 3 at the 50 yard line, they would have been punting. Back then Bo got all the Nike push. Every little thing he did was great, even when it was mundane. Bo's running full speed. Bosworth is standing there at the 1 yard line. Of course there's not going to be a sudden stop, but because Boz was an anti hero and Bo a Nike hero, everyone rambled on about what a domination it was.
These guys are ridiculous.
Wasn't involved in drugs....give a break...the guy was juiced up, that's why he couldn't play in the Orange bowl.
But he couldn't beat miami
Steroids👍🔥
what a disappointment this ultimate crybaby is. We knew what we got and most loved him or loved to hate him. He is stealing my 80's to go on this crybaby tour.
Boring story.
