Ben Kolar Chooses Stanford Over Sooners

Ben Kolar, a top-rated tight end from Norman North, has flipped his commitment to Stanford over the Sooners — a hometown shocker that defies expectations. Despite having official visits planned with Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Auburn, Kolar’s decision was sealed after a recent visit to Stanford, drawn by the school’s NFL pedigree. A standout junior with 44 catches, 600+ yards, and 8 TDs, Kolar is a 6’3”, 225-pound elite prospect and the 27th-best TE in his class. His older brother Charlie now plays in the NFL, making this a family trend — though this time, Kolar chose the Cardinal over staying home. With Oklahoma’s new tight ends coach, Jason Witten, and a strong 2027 class already in place, the Sooners may have missed out — but they’re still building a formidable roster.
