A two-time All-American, including consensus first-team honors in 1965, Twilley finished his career as the 1965 Heisman Trophy runner-up. Twilley was inducted into the Tulsa Athletic Hall of Fame in 1984, the College Football Hall of Fame in 1992, and the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1995.  His jersey, No. 81, was retired by the university.

Following his collegiate career, Twilley played with the Miami Dolphins from 1966 to 1976, making three trips to the Super Bowl, while winning two of them, including as a member of the Dolphins' undefeated season in 1972.

Our hearts and sympathies are with Twilley's family and his many friends.

He caught a 28-yard touchdown pass in Miami’s 14-7 victory over Washington in Super Bowl VII. Sadly, it won't be long before all of that team has passed on and we have yet to get back to anything close to it. RIP Howard!

That's why I thought it was a mistake that the Dolphins did throw a massive 50th reunion in 2022.

I'm sure you meant did not as this isn't the first time you bought it up. I'm curious what you consider reunion and your inside knowledge of what was and wasn't done in that respect because they did reunite.

The last original Dolphin to leave the team.
