Malik Jackson: Bixby's Defensive Force to Watch
Bixby Spartans defensive end Malik Jackson is making waves in Oklahoma high school football circles with his impressive performance on the field. The Class of 2026 standout racked up 12 sacks last season, leading the Spartans to a 10-2 record in 5A competition. As the first player from Bixby to earn a Power 4 offer, Jackson's skills have caught the attention of college scouts and coaches. Standing at 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, Jackson's size and speed combination make him a formidable force on the defensive line. His ability to rush the quarterback and drop back into coverage has scouts taking notice. With his strong work ethic and dedication to improving his game, Jackson is expected to be a key player for the Spartans this season. Scouts are watching for Jackson to build on his impressive 2023 performance, potentially leading the team in sacks and tackles for loss. His development and growth will be closely monitored as the season approaches.
