Oklahoma will honor 2017 Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield as part of its spring game festivities April 18.

Sooners coach Lincoln Riley announced Monday the school will unveil a statue of Mayfield at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

Mayfield spent three years with Oklahoma after transferring from Texas Tech. He threw for 12,292 yards, 119 touchdowns and 21 interceptions as a Sooner.

The Sooners won three straight Big 12 titles with him under center, culminating in a 2017 campaign to remember.

Mayfield threw for 4,627 yards and 43 touchdowns, and his 198.9 passer rating was a single-season FBS record at the time. Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa and Kyler Murray have since surpassed the mark.

Oklahoma also reached the College Football Playoff, losing to Georgia in double overtime in the Rose Bowl.

OU Daily's George Stoia reported in September the Sooners were planning to commission statues for Mayfield, 2018 Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray and the Selmon brothers, Lee Roy, Lucious and Dewey. Murray's statue is expected to be unveiled in spring 2021, and the Selmons will be honored that fall.

Oklahoma has traditionally celebrated its Heisman Trophy winners in bronze. Sam Bradford, the 2008 Heisman, received the privilege in 2011.

With any luck, the Sooners will base Mayfield's statue off his postgame celebration following their 2017 win over Ohio State.
