Macon can come in and immediately make a difference for defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer and Gundy on defense. He was the NJCAA Defensive Player of the Year with Arizona Western Community College before signing with the Pokes.
Linebacker is always an important position on OK State’s defense. With the loss of linebacker Devante Averette, there is a spot to fill for incoming recruits to get immediate playing time in Stillwater.
