Tarzan was one of the original three founders of the OURFC club in 1974.
In 1975 he and Leah Ott formed the O.U. women’s team; later known as The Roses of Oklahoma RFC.
He was an original coach along with Jon Woods.
Throughout his time at OU, Tarzan was a vocal advocate for the women’s team.
“We should all combine our talents to make a better club. We should all share the pride when the women win.” – Tim Tarzan Wilson
The Roses look forward to celebrating the life of this extraordinary man at this year’s annual HOF/ Alumni dinner and weekend events.
In lieu of HOF inductions this year both the men and women have dedicated this year’s events to honoring Tarzan.
We hope all current players, alumni, and supporters will join us!
HOF Banquet Details
