"In the Weeds": OU Tight End Transfer Carson Kent

[@Spacewalk11]

Can we get a Kendal Daniels “in the weeds”? Love his tape. Only knock is him giving up on plays, but he won’t do that at OU or he won’t play. OSU had to play him regardless. BV gets that defense ready to play every week & I predict Daniels will be our best player on D behind R Mason (& maybe Jayden Jackson).

[@Sooner_Smith]

Hope we get his brother, Clark.

[@franklins.davisjr.3869]

Me too, we need him...

[@christophermorales1509]

Brother is way too old and has history of wilting under pressure

[@daltonmann4916]

well we are going to find out if he is solid in the sec. i hope he can block better than sharp.

[@tommyguntunechi8124]

If we get the exact same numbers from his last year that would be a win IMO. HOPEFULLY as a 2nd or 3rd string TE though😂

[@OK_Breakdown]

Kent’s 2024 numbers exceed the production OU got from TE2 in 2024.

[@tommyguntunechi8124]

@OK_Breakdown Hopefully he keeps his head down and works, he has the opportunity in front of him. Can't ask for much more.

[@brentwilley9267]

I may already like him more than Bauer Sharp haha. I want my TE's to embrace contact. BS seemed to avoid contact at all costs.

[@SoonerFan0608]

We just have to except that this year tight end is one of his positions where we are ripping the Band-Aid off and rolling with the young inexperienced star (Davion). Kent is a solid player that really looks like he is coverage for if Helms gets hurt again. But right now I’m good with Mitchell, Helms, McIntyre and Kent being the guys.

[@INFIDEL912]

What I saw was HEART

[@JoshRay-q2n]

Davion needs to grow the fu*k up this off season...hate to be harsh but its time to put in the work and show what you can actually do on the field

[@SoonerFan0608]

@ I definitely think his athleticism’s being slept on, everyone was just quick to label them as a blocker, because he didn’t have many stats or anything, but he’s really a receiving threat

[@BranDZ7]

I don't expect any of these TE to actually be any good

[@adamwest6312]

Thank you for this analysis.

[@ricks4361]

Thanks guys. Was hoping for a quick look at OUr incoming portal players. Guy looks serviceable as a receiver and blocker. 6 mos with Schmidtty should get him around 250 and stronger. Not gonna knock a guy that’s putting in effort. We’ll see how he looks in September. Next up.

[@jessebrowning2427]

What do you think of his play as it translates to the SEC when compared to Bauer Sharpe’s plays as it translated to the SEC?

[@jamessteller1914]

OU spokesperson

[@Richard-wz9zi]

Who knew? A D-1 TE is athletic.

[@rodgerbane3825]

Straight up question for you, the experts. Is he any good?

[@huskidork]

is the totality of the tight end room can be reliable on important downs, good pass catchers when needed, and most importantly good blockers by committee then honestly it does not matter if the room doesn't have that great guy, cause you don't need it TE isn't a make or break position you definitely need a reliable room but you don't need an elite room, if Oklahoma run game continues on the trajectory it was on last year, and the passing/blocking improves immensely then Oklahoma will be in position to compete this year

[@willsmith8586]

Okay okay, this guy has a cool Comic book name. If and when this guy becomes a star, if, Superman might be his nickname.

[@OK_Breakdown]

There’s simply no denying he’s got a great football name.

[@DavidSmith-ou3sl]

At least this kids tape is better than Bauer from last year! lol

[@seanb.4712]

What is intriguing is why can't OU attract a large Tight End like all other top 15+ teams have. Has to come back to poor recruiting. Mitchell better start next season.

[@steventyler7352]

Lol

[@JoshRay-q2n]

Why would those type of TEs come here with the production weve had at the position theblsst few years??....if Arbuckle utilizes the position like Lincoln did, we will see them come here once again

[@seanb.4712]

@JoshRay-q2n i agree which is why Coach JJF needs to move on based solely on lack of recruiting and production at the TE position period!

[@JoshRay-q2n]

@seanb.4712 i agree all accept for 5 star Mitchell, not even OU gets 5 star TEs very often, 5 star TEs nationwide are few and far between but my confidence in that kid, lets just say, has dwindled mightily...there is literally no reason for him not to see the field in that bowl game, wouldnt have burned the redshirt and we had very few TEs....its time for the kid to grow up or find another team or sport

[@adamwest6312]

They just added a guy from the portal that is 6'7 255.

[@JoshRay-q2n]

Honest to God, i actually liked this pickup more than most ive seen, get him in Norman, he can put on 10 lbs or more in the off season and hes got enough tools that Arbuckle can fit in his system...i dont look at his production at Kenn State really, was a terrible system, terrible coaches, terrible QB, its a miracle the kid ended up with any TDs

[@seanb.4712]

Not an SEC Tight End. Every SEC team we played had 6'6" 255lb or larger Tight Ends. That is what we need.

[@mitchconner2021]

Guy from LSU this year was just 6'4" 255 as a senior. So you're wrong. Stop being such a whiney lil baby.

[@Lexlugr]

*yet... 7 months to put in 10 lbs.

[@RylzMunkister]

@@mitchconner2021 ... that's really not making a point lol

[@seanb.4712]

@mitchconner2021 His name is Mason Taylor, 6'5" 255lb and he can run, catch and block. Better than anything we got. So hush.

[@northface484]

Dumb...

[@robbyclark6915]

He’s 6’4”, 240 lbs, he can run and catch, and his name is Carson Kent. End of discussion!

[@jasonwilson-j1q]

Bauer Sharp says hello.

[@JoshRay-q2n]

​@jasonwilson-j1q and he could have been much more productive in an actual offensive system unlike whatever we ran last season

[@jasonwilson-j1q]

Nope. When given opportunities he shrunk to the occasion, over and over again. This ain’t about the X’s and O’s. It’s the Jimmy’s and the Joe’s. He wasn’t a Jimmy or a Joe. Neither is this guy.

[@christophermorales1509]

Bauer was great throwing passes out of the pocket.

[@jamessteller1914]

he is probably closer to 215 lbs

[@JoshRay-q2n]

Heres an idea, how about we actually see what these portal guys can do in the offseason and see what they are after a damn game or 2 at least...you never know what a kid like this is made of, he could show up at a blue blood from a school like Kennesaw State and use it to drive him like no other and you end up with a damn good player who works his ass off for the opportunity....i cant stand sunshine pumpers but i also cant stand fans who shit on players before they ever even see them step foot on the field here

[@vance9090]

Bean Arfunkle gonna have to make some magic happen. These WRs and TEs are something else 🤣😂

[@BranDZ7]

​@THECHADDINGTON it's impossible to know if any of these transfer receivers will be any good.Since all of them are three stars maybe one of them works out

[@mimixownzall]

Mark Andrews > Kelsey.

[@mikemayfield902]

Teddy saying he's not a break out guy but a depth guy doesn't make my heart go pitter patter. It's the worst Tight End room we have probably ever had, and he is a depth guy. What am I missing here? Venables has one year to prove he can do it. Scoring was our problem. We aren't willing to open the pocket books to get a big time tight and and receiver? Looks like his head coaching career is about over at OU. I don't say that lightly. I wanted him to succeed badly. I am afraid he has not upgraded the offensive parts he needs, enough to win in the SEC.

[@Crankinstien]

We still have NO TIGHTEND

[@dylangrove635]

It’s hard to tell anything from tape, when you are watching him play against plumbers and jv kids

[@Kingsolo83]

Once again, my guy, this is all about technique not who he’s playing against

[@OK_Breakdown]

Can only judge what is on the tape. But yes…of course the competition will be much, much better.

[@dylangrove635]

@@Kingsolo83 I get that, but competition is a massive indicator of technique and skill, thats why players who do well against poor competition struggle against the best. Aka sec

Oh, Kent is the Sharp replacement you mentioned. By the way, How upset is Kennesaw State with us for raiding their team like this. They aren't really P5 guys we are getting but they are probably really good at that level.
