Oklahoma is no longer honoring Austin Box by wearing the No. 12 this season.

The Sooners will never forget, though. Receiver Kenny Stills continues to wear a rubber bracelet to honor his fallen teammate, who died in May 2011.

“It says always in the heart, Austin Box,” Stills said. “It’s funny. I’ve had plenty of these, and this is the only one that’s never broken.

“It means something to me.”
