Former Georgia Tech OL Peyton Joseph commits to Oklahoma

According to On3’s Pete Nakos, the Oklahoma Sooners have landed a commitment from offensive lineman Peyton Joseph out of the NCAA transfer portal. Joseph spent last season in Atlanta, playing for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Now, he heads to Norman to work under OL coach Bill Bedenbaugh.

Oklahoma has spent the past few offseasons looking to rework the offensive line. Joseph certainly fits the mold, as there is plenty of eligibility remaining for him. The 2025 season was Joseph’s true freshman campaign. And since he did not see action in a game, four years remain.

Joseph played high school football at Fort Valley (GA) Houston County, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 264 overall recruit in the 2025 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Multiple other power conference programs were involved in Joseph’s original recruitment, two coming from the SEC. The Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs both wanted to sign the offensive lineman not too long ago. Another big contender, the Florida State Seminoles, made a run as well, as Joseph was once committed to play under Mike Norvell. But Georgia Tech won out, a huge piece for them at the time.

Oklahoma Sooners hiring Jason Witten as team’s next tight ends coach

Former Dallas Cowboys tight end and Tennessee alum Jason Witten is expected to be hired at Oklahoma for its open tight end coaching position, according to Sooner Scoop‘s Georgia Stoia and On3‘s Pete Nakos. This is Witten’s first collegiate head coaching job after five seasons as the head coach at Liberty Christian School in Argyle, Texas.

Witten is a 17-year NFL pro having played his first 16 years in Dallas, which drafted him in the third round of the 2003 NFL Draft out of Tennessee. The 2012 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year was named to 11 Pro Bowls during his NFL career and four All-Pro teams. Witten still owns multiple NFL and Dallas team records, including the league record for most receptions in a single game by a tight end with 18.
