Bixby Spartans Promote Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role

The Bixby Spartans, a 5A powerhouse in Oklahoma, have elevated assistant coach Ryan Jenkins to the position of defensive coordinator. Jenkins spent three seasons developing the Spartans' defensive unit, which has consistently ranked among the top in the state. His promotion is seen as a key move by head coach Brian O'Neal, who aims to build on the team's recent success. The Spartans finished 2022 with a 10-2 record and a state semifinal appearance. Jenkins' expertise is expected to strengthen the team's defensive line, a position of need after the graduation of several key players. The move also signals a renewed focus on recruiting top defensive talent in the region, positioning the Spartans for a strong 2026 campaign.
