Highlights

This Season

The tight end room is, and has been for some time, a bit of a mystery this season. The Sooners will once again be replacing their main tight ends, as Jake Roberts and Bauer Sharp have both departed. Will Huggins, another incoming transfer, looks likely to start. Jaren Kanak has shifted to offense and will play a role, as will the returning Kaden Helms and newcomer Carson Kent. OU will likely use a large group at the spot, so expect Kent to see snaps and work to solidify his role.
