Baker Mayfield claps back at Texas planting flag through his jersey after Red River Rivalry win
Baker Mayfield had a response for Texas players after they celebrated Saturday’s Red River Rivalry win by planting a school flag through his Oklahoma jersey. Pictures emerged on social media after the 34-3 Longhorns win of linebacker Anthony Hill posing with the jersey, which had a tear through the back.
Mayfield played the final three seasons of his college career with the Sooners and went 2-1 against Texas, including winning each of his final two games. Now a quarterback for the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he had a clear message for the Longhorns about the jersey incident.
“It’s just a kid from Austin, Texas, that went to Oklahoma and won his last two Red River games and has been rent free in their heads for almost a decade now,” he said Sunday after a 51-27 win against the Saints. “So, yeah.”
Mayfield led the Sooners to Big 12 titles in all three seasons he played in Norman in addition to the two Red River wins. He also won the Heisman Trophy as a senior in 2017 after throwing for 4,627 yards and 43 touchdowns to only six interceptions.
From 2016-21, Oklahoma was 6-1 against Texas. However, the Sooners have now lost two of the last three against their bitter rival. It’s clear things are heading a different direction than they were when Mayfield was the QB, but he still isn’t going to take this trash talk quietly and had to remind everybody involved of his past results.

Anthony Hill, Barryn Sorrell plant Texas flag through Baker Mayfield jersey at midfield after Red River Rivalry win
Following Texas’ Red River Rivalry win over Oklahoma, Anthony Hill Jr. and Barryn Sorrell celebrated at midfield at the Cotton Bowl. They planted a Longhorns flag through a Sooners jersey at the logo.
Hill set the jersey down at the logo, and Sorrell took the flag through it. It was part of the celebration after Texas put the finishing touches on a 34-3 victory over Oklahoma in the rivalry – the first time they played as SEC opponents.
The jersey was later revealed to be a Baker Mayfield one as Hill posed with it in the locker room afterward, posting a tweet captioned “Texas fears nobody.”
