*Original Study* Barry Sanders by Scott Smith 18" x 27"

In 1968, a football legend was born. Barry Sanders was one of eleven children in a family who molded him into the quiet and humble man we all admire today. During his early years in football, Barry played defensive back but longed to be a great running back. In his senior year of high school, Barry’s coach moved him from defensive back to running back, and the rest was history. Barry earned All-State honors that year, and in 1986 started college at Oklahoma State University. His 1988 may be the greatest single season in college history. So many of his offensive numbers, and the college football records he set in 1988 still stand today. He was awarded the Heisman Trophy that year. Barry Sanders went on to greatness at the highest level of football and when he retired, Barry continues to excel in his business and personal life.
