Brent Venables refuses to panic over tight end concerns (but should he?)

Everybody who follows Oklahoma football was under the impression that one of the major position needs the team would look to fill utilizing the Transfer Portal was at tight end.

After losing three tight ends between graduation and the Transfer Portal after the 2024 season, including Bauer Sharp, the Sooners' leading receiver last season, Oklahoma added three tight ends out of the Transfer Portal, but none had a resume that appears to be a major upgrade at the position.

Because of all the injuries to the OU wide receiver corps last season, Sharp led the Sooner in 2024 with 42 catches but for just 324 yards and two touchdowns.
