Jason Witten will coach tight ends at Oklahoma

Former NFL tight end Jason Witten is set to become the tight ends coach at the University of Oklahoma, according to multiple reports. Witten has been coaching at Liberty Christian High School in Argyle, Texas, for the past five years. This move marks his first step into college-level coaching, potentially paving the way for a future role with the Dallas Cowboys, where he spent the majority of his NFL playing career. Witten, who played college football at Tennessee and was drafted by the Cowboys in 2003, enjoyed a distinguished 15-year career in Dallas, with a brief return after a stint as an analyst on "Monday Night Football." He concluded his playing career with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020. Witten is an 11-time Pro Bowler and a two-time first-team All-Pro and is currently a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. He ranks fourth on the NFL's all-time receptions list with 1,228 catches.
