Longest Plays ▪ Oklahoma
These lists are based on the official records from recent media guides and stats supplements. I am working my way backwards through older media guides and have added plays from 2012 to present that fall between the 'official' minimum yards (shortest listed play) and my own minimums (below the category subtitle). The rows for those additional plays will be shaded gray and have no ranking since the data is incomplete (see Notes).

Notes
- Brkic tied the NCAA record for most 50-yard field goals in a game with 3 vs Tulane. As of 2020, the NCAA record was held by five different players most recently by Sam Swank for Wake Forest vs NC State on 10/14/2006. The most in a season is 8 (10 attempts) by Fuad Reveiz for Tennessee in 1982. The most in a career is 20 (35 attempts) by Jason Hanson for Washington State from 1988-91.
- In limited research, the longest field goal attempt by an OU player I have seen so far is a 66-yarder by R.D. Lashar in 1988 vs Kansas State.
- NCAA rules allowed one-inch kicking tees to be used for extra points and field goals from 1948 to 1964, and two-inch tees from 1965 to 1988. Tees were eliminated starting with the 1989 season.
- Plays below the official minimum might always be incomplete since longest plays per player in season stats were not listed until 1972, and bowl games were not included until 2002. Additionally, actual lists weren't published until the early 1990s. And finally, players could have had multiple long plays in a category, but only one may be listed unless the others were longer than the 'official' minimum or was the longest listed in older media guides.
