[TouchdownFridayNight @TDFridayNight]

Happy birthday to former Booker T. Washington, University of Alabama and NFL defensive lineman Mark Anderson, born on this day in 1983 in Tulsa.

Anderson was named All-Metro by the Tulsa World and honorable mention All-State by The Oklahoman as a senior after recording 104 tackles and nine sacks from his defensive line position.

He also earned All-District at tight end, where he caught three touchdown passes in helping the Hornets go 11-2, losing to eventual state champion Carl Albert by a single point in the semifinals.

He also played basketball for the Hornets, earning honorable mention All-State as senior.

Anderson signed with Alabama and recorded 141 tackles, 25 for losses, 13.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and three recoveries from 2002 to 2005. As a senior, he earned Second-Team All-Southeastern Conference after leading the Crimson Tide with 7.5 sacks to go with 40 tackles and 18 for losses.

In 2006, the Chicago Bears made Anderson the 159th overall pick in the NFL Draft and he responded by earning a spot on the All-Rookie Team by the Pro Football Writers of America.

Despite starting only one game as a rookie, Anderson finished 8th in the league with a dozen sacks.

Anderson played four seasons in Chicago before signing with the Houston Texans in 2010. He also played one season with the New England Patriots and one with the Buffalo Bills.

In 98 NFL games, Anderson started 25 games, made 175 tackles, 41 for losses, 36.5 sacks, forced seven fumbles and recovered three.

After his playing career, Anderson was hired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (and former Bears head coach Lovie Smith) as a scouting department member.

In 2022, Anderson was inducted into Booker T. Washington's Ring of Honor.

Happy birthday Mark! #tdfn #okpreps @BookerTFootball @AlabamaFTBL

Happy birthday to former Booker T. Washington, University of Arkansas and NFL running back Felix Jones, born on this day in 1987 in Tulsa.

Jones was a problem for Oklahoma high school defenses, earning All-State accolades as a senior, including the Tulsa World Player of the Year after rushing for 2,282 yards and 48 touchdowns, helping the Hornets go 13-1 and advance to the Class 5A state championship game.

His senior season almost didn't happen. It was feared a devastating ankle injury suffered in the second game of his junior season could have been career ending, but Jones erased those doubts in the All-City preview in 2004, racing for a 69-yard touchdown on the second play from scrimmage.

Jones had dozens of scholarship offers, but in the end he chose Arkansas over Texas A&M and Tennessee. The Razorbacks had another talented running back in Darren McFadden, but Felix showed his versatility in being able to catch passes out of the backfield, block and be a threat in the return game.

Despite touching the ball just eight times in his first game against Missouri State, Jones rushed for 137 yards and an 80-yard touchdown.

As a freshman, he also had a 100 yard game in a win over Louisiana-Monroe and also returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown against Mississippi State. He was named second-team All-Southeastern Conference.

As a sophomore, Jones again shared snaps with McFadden, but despite carrying the ball only 154 times, he eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark, going for 1,168 yards and six touchdowns on a conference-leading 7.6 yards per carry. He also added another 100-yard kickoff return touchdown against Ole Miss, earning second-team All-SEC again.

In 2007, Jones and McFadden again went over 1,000 yards. Felix had six 100-yard games and racked up 1,162 yards and 11 touchdowns and again led the SEC with an 8.7 yards per carry average. He added two more kickoff return touchdowns and earned first-team All-SEC as well as the SEC Special Teams Player of the Year and consensus All-American honors.

In 2008, Jones decided to forgo his senior season and enter the NFL Draft, where he was selected by the Dallas Cowboys with the 22nd overall pick in the first round.

Jones' rookie season was cut short when he suffered a torn hamstring just six weeks in. He had 266 yards rushing on just 30 carries for an 8.9 yards per carry average. He also returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown in Dallas' 41-37 win over Philadelphia.

In his second season, Jones was again limited as the backup to Marion Barber, but rushed for 685 yards and averaged 5.9 yards per carry, helping the Cowboys to an 11-5 record. In his first playoff game, he had 148 yards and a touchdown in a win over Philadelphia.

His best season in Dallas came in 2010 when he rushed for 800 yards and added 450 yards receiving.

He completed his career in 2013 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, finishing with 3,129 yards and 12 touchdowns rushing, 1,177 yards and three touchdowns receiving and more than 2,000 yards and a touchdown in return yards.

Happy birthday Felix! #tdfn #okpreps @BookerTFootball @RazorbackFB @dallascowboys

Happy birthday to former Okmulgee, East Central and professional linebacker and current Georgia State Representative Dewey McClain, born on this day in 1954 in Okmulgee.

McClain was an All-State running back at Okmulgee as a senior in 1971 after rushing for 1,008 yards and 12 touchdowns, helping the Bulldogs reach the Class 3A state championship game.

He was also a standout basketball player, helping the Bulldogs win back-to-back 3A titles in 1970 and 1971.

After graduating in 1972, McClain enrolled at East Central University, where he started as a freshman and earned second-team NAIA All-District 9 honors -- the only freshman to make first or second team.

As a sophomore, McClain earned another second-team All-District 9 selection and was also an honorable mention All-American pick.

As a junior and senior, he was named first team All-District 9 and in 1975, he earned NAIA All-American after helping lead the Tigers to a 9-3-1 overall record and an appearance in the Bicentennial Bowl.

In 1976, McClain signed as an undrafted free agent with the Atlanta Falcons and went on to play in Atlanta for five seasons. In 73 games, he had 12 sacks, one interception, forced three fumbles, recovered six fumbles and also recorded a safety in the Falcons' 23-20 win over the New York Giants in 1978.

Prior to the 1981 season, McClain was traded to the Green Bay Packers, but he suffered an injury in training camp and never played for the Packers.

After sitting out the 1982 season, he returned to play for the Oakland Invaders of the USFL in 1983. In 1984, he asked to be made available for the expansion draft after learning Oklahoma was getting a team. He was instead selected by Memphis, but the Showboats agreed to trade him to Oklahoma, where he played one season for the Outlaws in 1984.

After retiring from football, McClain returned to Atlanta, where he went to work for the City of Atlanta in the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs.

In 2013, he won a special election for representative in Georgia's 100th District and now serves as representative in the 109th District.

In 1982, McClain was honored by East Central with the Milam Award, which is bestowed on former East Central football players who have distinguished themselves in their chosen profession.

Happy birthday Dewey! #tdfn #okpreps @ECUTigersFB @AtlantaFalcons
