Oregon State University grad Sara Jean Underwood went from our Girls of the Pac 10 cover to Miss July 2006, and, now, Playmate of the Year. Here are a few fun facts about the new PMOY.

Underwood (born March 26th 1984) was the cover model for the October 2005 issue of Playboy. She has appeared as Playmate of the Month for July 2006 and 2007 Playmate of the Year in the June 2007 issue of the men's magazine.

She appeared on the cover of the October 2005 issue holding a football with nothing but bodypaint on her to simulate her wearing a jersey similar in design to the ones worn by the OSU Beavers football team with matching bikini briefs. She also appeared in the Girls of Pac 10 pictorial in the same issue.

Sara also appeared in episode #2 of E! reality television series, The Girls Next Door as a playmate hopeful having her test shoot taken at Playboy Studio West. She was given the title of Miss July 2006. She has since appeared in several more episodes, attending events at the Playboy mansion and hanging out with the girls.

She appeared as a pirate wench in Epic Movie, along with Playmates Qiana Chase, Irina Voronina and Jillian Grace.
