Former Oklahoma offensive tackle Isaiah Dent is on the move — and today on Rise & Shine College Football, Jason Watkins is joined by Marcus Dent of The Gridiron Insight and Ole Miss 365 to explain why.
Marcus opens up about what actually led to his son’s decision to leave Norman after two seasons in the Sooners program, how the transfer portal process unfolded behind the scenes, and what Isaiah is looking for in his next stop.
Then Jason and Marcus preview their new 2026 collaboration, The SEC Gauntlet, a twice-weekly show that will travel across the SEC to cover the league’s biggest games, storylines, and personalities from the ground.
And finally… they dive right into one of the most uncomfortable questions in college football right now:
👉 Has the Big Ten officially passed the SEC as the best conference in the sport?
With recent playoff results, roster construction trends, NIL dynamics, and on-field dominance shifting fast, this conversation sets the table for what could be a defining debate heading into the 2026 season.
Buckle up — this one’s honest, unfiltered, and exactly what college football needs more of.
