2006 recruit OL Kevin Macon


Joining UMass in the Fall of 2006 will be Kevin Macon an OL from Oliver H.S. in Pittsburgh PA.
Macon is listed variously in height as 6-5 to 6-7 and about 325 pds.
  • three year starter
  • Ranked #1 lineman in Pittsburgh and #7 in PA
  • Named to Western PA Fabulous 22
  • runs a 5.2 40
  • drew recruiting interest from Akron, Cincinnati, Penn State, Pitt (did a recruiting visit there), West Virginia and N.C. State
I saw video of Macon at the Spring Friends of Football meeting (another good reason to belong to Friends of Football, in my opinion). He looked mobile and a dominating blocker. This article mentions him .Coach Brown stated that Macon was coming off an injury and that's why we were able to recruit him.

Welcome to UMass Kevin! The UMass Faithful believe in you.
