OU football adds Bixby TE Connor Arant to 2028 recruiting class

Norman, Oklahoma — Oklahoma football has added its second commitment for the class of 2028, signing four-star tight end Connor Arant from Bixby High School on Tuesday, according to Rivals. Arant informed Rivals of his decision, revealing that he chose Oklahoma over other major contenders like Alabama and Ohio State. Standing at 6 feet 6 inches and weighing 245 pounds, Arant's selection of the Sooners was influenced by his multiple visits to the campus, totaling three visits.

Ranked 219th overall, 12th among tight ends, and the 4th player in Oklahoma in the 2028 cycle by 247Sports, Arant is expected to make a significant impact at the collegiate level. Arant will be joining fellow Sooners commitment Kaeden Penny, a four-star offensive tackle, as teammates.
