Oklahoma has named the final two players who will honor Austin Box by wearing his No. 12 jersey without a name on the back.
Box, who would have been a senior, died in May.
Cornerback Jamell Fleming will honor the linebacker by wearing his jersey on Saturday against Oklahoma State when Oklahoma plays for the Big 12 title and a ninth trip to the BCS since the 2000 season.
In the Sooners' bowl game, sophomore safety Tony Jefferson will wear the jersey.
