Where did Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten attend college?

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten attended the University of Tennessee. He played college football for the Tennessee Volunteers from 2000 through 2002 before entering the NFL draft.

Witten originally arrived at Tennessee as a defensive end, but the coaching staff moved him to tight end early in his college career. The change proved decisive: he developed into one of the Volunteers’ leading receivers and became known for his blocking, durability, and reliable hands.

The Dallas Cowboys selected Witten in the third round of the 2003 NFL draft. He spent the great majority of his career with Dallas and became one of the most productive tight ends in NFL history. His college connection is sometimes confused with his Tennessee upbringing—he was born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Elizabethton, Tennessee—but the quiz asks where he attended college, which is the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

Witten later returned to Tennessee as an assistant coach in 2017 before resuming his professional playing career.
