A hard nosed, physical player Arant was often seen as a defensive end prospect but this offseason saw his tight end skills shine and his prospects on the offensive side of the ball become all the more realistic. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2028 prospect announced Tuesday that he has verbally committed to the Oklahoma Sooners and tight ends coach Jason Witten. The Sooners, with the former Dallas Cowboys All-Pro tight end coaching the position, have focused on a more traditional tight end prospect that can be a sixth blocker along the line of scrimmage while also being a threat in the passing game. Arant possesses both skill sets and became a focus of Witten and the Sooners. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arant selected the Sooners over Alabama and Ohio State.
