Liberty Road Foundation is honored to have Russell Okung, Seahawks Left
Tackle, as Keynote Speaker at its 4th Annual Business Vision Lunch. Tickets are only $55 for a single ticket & $500 for a table of 10. Russell
was selected with the sixth overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. He was the highest
drafted tackle in club history and first draft choice of General Manager John
Schneider and Head Coach Pete Carroll. Russell will speak on “The Characteristics
of a Winner.”

part of the unit that saw the Cowboys
lead the Big Twelve Conference in rushing in each of his four seasons in the
starting line-up. An Outland Trophy finalist, he garnered All-American and
Big Twelve Offensive Lineman of the Year honors, becoming OSU’s
most decorated offensive lineman since former Pittsburgh Steelers
standout center, Jon Kolb (1966-68). Russell registered 317 knock-downs
with 48 touchdown-resulting blocks during his time as a starter. In his
final two seasons, his total of 30 touchdown-resulting blocks were tops
in the Big Twelve. As a senior, he was an All-American first team choice by
The NFL Draft Report, Walter Camp Football Foundation and
American Football Foundation Coaches Association. He was the only offensive
lineman named a semi-finalist for the Lombardi Award and allowed just one
sack on 336 pass plays.
Russell attended George Bush High. He ranked 33rd nationally among
offensive tackles and placed 71st on Rival’s Texas Top 100 list. Scout.com
ranked the lineman 50th overall on theSouth-west Top 100 chart. Added firstteam
All-Greater Houston and All-District honors, along with being named
to the Dallas Morning News Top 100 squad as a senior.
