Why you chose the college you plan to attend: It was a really good fit for me. All the coaches really care about the athlete’s success on and off the field. I also had a really good vibe with all the players and commits. I really like the pride and tradition of WIU.
Were you recruited to play other sports at the collegiate level: No
Notes / stats from high school career: 169 career tackles (School Record), 6 career interceptions (2 were returned for touchdowns), 6 career sacks, 8 career receiving TDs
Senior Year: 1st Team all-state linebacker, 2nd Team all EKL Linebacker, Elected Team Captain
Favorite high school football memory: We got to play Bishop Miege 2nd round in the playoffs for the second year in a row. The first year they beat us on a failed QB sneak at the one yard line. This time I had two of five interceptions and we won by a few touchdowns at their place.
Kpreps comment: McMakin was a Kpreps 5A All-State selection this past season at linebacker. He helped the Jaguars to an 8-4 finish and a spot in the 5A state semifinals. Cale has the speed to cover sideline to sideline and has shown the ability to cover with six interceptions in his career.
