Oregon State Baseball ⚾ got a win in the first game of the Frisco College Baseball Classic Friday afternoon. They'll take on Alabama Baseball tonight at 4pm from Riders Field.

Each year, the East–West Shrine Bowl presents the Pat Tillman Award to honor a player who embodies intelligence, sportsmanship, and service.

This year, that honor belongs to Febechi Nwaiwu. Nwaiwu is a graduate of Coppell High School and former walk-on at Mean Green Football who joined the Oklahoma Sooners in 2024.

Throughout the week, starting January 22nd, Nwaiwu earned the respect of teammates and coaches alike, not just for his performance on the field, but for the character, leadership, and humility he brought into every practice and meeting room.

“This award reflects character, perseverance, and integrity,” said West Team Head Coach Lunda Wells. “Febechi leads by example and represents everything this honor stands for.” Wells is currently the TE coach with the Dallas Cowboys.

Pat Tillman’s legacy lives on through players like Nwaiwu who strive for excellence not only in football, but in life.

A well-deserved recognition for a young man who truly represents what this game is about. 🏈🙏

According to ESPN, the Rangers are expected to trade Adolis Garcia and Jonah Heim ahead of Friday’s non-tender deadline
