Cooper Witten commits to Oklahoma after father joins staff

Witten, ranked the No. 31 overall recruit and No. 2 linebacker in the 2027 class, chose Oklahoma over SEC rivals Georgia, Texas A&M, and Tennessee.

Despite the family connection, Witten emphasized that playing for his father wasn't the primary deciding factor. Jason Witten won back-to-back state titles with Liberty Christian School before moving to the college ranks.
