Oklahoma Sooners preview 2026 tight end position ahead of new season
Summary

As fall camp progresses in Norman, the Oklahoma Sooners are focusing on their tight end position with the 2026 season approaching. The team, coming off a 10-win season and a College Football Playoff appearance, has seen significant roster changes, including transfers like Hayden Hansen and Rocky Beers. Both are expected to take on prominent roles, enhancing the team's blocking and receiving game.
