The Oklahoma Sooners are never without drama, no matter if it's during the season or in the offseason. And, this time it's with five-star defensive tackle David Stone, and now linebacker turned tight end Jaren Kanak, who had a hilarious reaction to it all.
The Oklahoma Sooners didn't recruit the tight end position maybe as well as they hoped for this offseason and the offseasons prior. Coming into this 2025 spring football period, the Sooners are left without a guy who's considered elite, or even great.
When the Oklahoma Sooners announced their decision to move linebacker Jaren Kanak over to the offense at tight end, the decision was met with plenty of skepticism and concern over the state of the tight end room.
Jaren Kanak was a Class of 2022 four-star linebacker who signed with Oklahoma. But after three seasons at his natural position, he has made the transition to tight end during the spring.
The off-season for the Oklahoma Sooners has been pretty much a rollercoaster, with some ups and some downs. There's no need to lay everything out there that has happened, we all know by now.
Of all of Oklahoma’s players, the upcoming football season might weigh the most on linebacker Jaren Kanak. What Brent Venables and new linebackers coach Zac Alley have planned for Kanak this season is unknown — and certainly could evolve over the course of the fall.
