Bryon Machado

July 03, 2003 | Cowboy Football

Bryon is one of the reasons the Cowboys' offensive front was much improved a year ago, and one of the reasons Chuck Moller's group should be even better in 2003. Machado is a gifted player who could challenge for a starting spot. He came out of the spring listed with Ben Buie at the center spot.

2002: Machado started the first two games of the year, and played in six games in all.

High School: Two-year letterman for Bob Homer at Miami High School. Also lettered in basketball and track.

Personal: Son of John and Cindy Machado. Younger brother of former OSU lineman Jeff Machado. In addition to Jeff, Bryon has another brother, John, who played four years at Illinois and just completed his fifth year with the New York Jets. Bryon is undecided on his major at Oklahoma State.
