Jason Witten on being the new OU tight ends coach:
"I love football and I love teaching the game, and Oklahoma is as prestigious a college football program as there is in the country. So I'm thankful to Coach Venables for the opportunity to work together. It's been clear to me from the outset that he's one of the best leaders of men in football. And he has the pieces in place to compete for championships, so I'm excited to work under him and Coach (Ben) Arbuckle and with the rest of the staff. It's a tremendous opportunity and I'm proud to be a Sooner.
"I know what the expectations and standards of Oklahoma Football are and I'm excited to lean into and embrace those. But along the way, it's also a great privilege to positively impact young men – to help them become the best players they can be and the best men they can be. That's one of the things I respect the most about Coach Venables – that those things aren't mutually exclusive. You can take on the responsibility to lead men but also be highly competitive in your craft. I try to uphold those standards on and off the field.
"I'm excited to get in that tight ends room and work with OU's great staff and players."
What high school TE with aspirations of playing in the NFL wouldn't want to play for one of best to ever play the position?
Finally official. 🐐
