Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Venables has expressed strong confidence in Jason Witten's readiness for his new position as the team's tight ends coach. Witten, a former NFL All-Pro tight end, has transitioned to coaching and was visible on the sidelines during the Sooners' game against the Texas El Paso Miners on September 4, 2026, at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma.
Venables' endorsement highlights the program's belief in Witten's ability to develop the tight end position, drawing on his extensive playing experience at the highest level. The move adds a high-profile former player to Oklahoma's coaching staff as they continue to build for the future.
