Tyler Ruxer brings upside, size, and real red-zone juice to Oklahoma's tight end room
In the 2026 season, Tyler Ruxer enters Oklahoma as a freshman TE with a strong recruiting résumé and a high-ceiling skill set: he’s listed at 6-foot-4 and 233 pounds, was a consensus top-30 tight end prospect, and produced big numbers at Heritage Hills, including 43 catches for 893 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior and 53 catches for 819 yards and seven scores as a senior. Analysts consistently point to his instincts, receiving ability, speed, and physicality, while Oklahoma coaches have praised his competitiveness. He looks like a developmental weapon with legit future starter potential, especially if your offense values mismatch tight ends who can threaten the seam and finish drives.
