Bixby’s Trey McGlothlin
Being a two-way player on the best football team in Oklahoma is not an easy task. For Bixby’s Trey McGlothlin playing wide receiver and outside linebacker or nickel is exactly where he wants to be.
As a football player, McGlothlin has experienced success at every level, but being a varsity player at Bixby High School, the lessons, skills and work ethic he has developed with his teammates will certainly translate to the next level. For now, McGlothlin and his teammates are focused on the task at hand.
“Well for the team it’s definitely to get that eighth championship and hold the standard high, and for myself, I’m trying to hit 100 tackles and at least five picks and five sacks,” said McGlothlin.
When it comes to putting in the work to be the best, the Bixby program is unmatched. McGlothlin said he was born with a work ethic that helps push him to become the best player he can be on the field for the Spartans.
“I was just born that way, I don’t like losing in anything I do,” McGlothlin said. “I love playing nickel because it’s like a mix of a safety and middle linebacker.”
For this season, McGlothlin said he wants to play a more physical brand of football and get stronger and fast. After the season, McGlothlin will graduate early and take his talents to the next level, but he is looking forward to being focused on the season and playing in big games.
“I’m graduating early so right after that I’m off to college ball,” McGlothlin said. “The first game versus Owasso, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.”
McGlothlin said his teammates are ready for the long season and there are several that he expects to have great years.
“Jayson Moll and BJ Jones were going to have impactful running backs this year for sure! Cimmone and Elijah Smitherman, and Maverick Nance. The brotherhood we have is unmatched.”
McGlothlin said he models his game after DeMarvion Overshown who plays for the Dallas Cowboys, but growing up it was the doubters that motivated him to become the player he is today.
“It’s more of a what, not who, that inspires me but it’s definitely getting doubted growing up. People would say football wasn’t going to work for me, so I feel like I had to prove it to myself. That doubt built me!
