Clay Horning has covered University of Oklahoma sports for the past eight years, including several as a beat writer for Sooner football, men's and women's basketball and baseball. He has been the sports editor at The Norman Transcript for the last five years. A graduate of Bishop McGuinness and Trinity University and former sports editor of the Woodward News and The Daily Ardmoreite, the last time Clay was truly starstruck came on opening day of the 2002 Major League Baseball season. In Atlanta to cover OU at the Final Four, and at Turner Field for the Braves and Phillies, he came face to face with The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
