Jalin Conyers Pledges Commitment to Oklahoma

The Oklahoma Sooners have officially signed Jalin Conyers, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound tight end out of Gruver, Texas. Conyers is a four-star recruit, per the 247Sports composite. He has offers from Georgia, Ohio State, And Arizona State among others.

This year, Conyers had 1,225 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns. He also played quarterback where he threw for over 1,500 yards and ran for 700 yards with 12 scores on the ground.

Oklahoma Sooners Get Committment from Four Star Tight End Jalin Conyers

He is an athletic and versatile tight end who is very much in the mold of a Brayden Willis or Austin Stogner. The combination of the two makes him a great prospect for Lincoln Riley’s offense that really looks to get the ball to the tight end, particularly in the red zone.

Conyers will likely start the season as the third tight end on the Sooners depth chart. But with the retirement of Grant Calcaterra, it has become a position of need from a depth perspective. And, Conyers will do just that. Once he grows and learns the college game, he could be a much bigger part of the Sooners offense in a year or two.
