Five years ago, one man's vision for Jaren Kanak seemed absurd... but today, it's vindicated

Jaren Kanak’s position switch has been quite well-documented. This story likely isn’t the first one you’ve read about his conversion from linebacker to tight end. But what you likely don’t know is that the conversion might never have happened if a former Oklahoma graduate assistant hadn’t planted a seed some five years ago. Indeed, the origin of Jaren Kanak’s redemption arc can be traced back to the very beginning of his high school recruitment. Before the world knew Kanak’s name, one erstwhile OU staffer had a vision. And half a decade later, that vision is manifesting in real time.
