He has scholarship offers from Kansas State, Kansas, Wyoming, Bowling Green, Ball State, Toledo and Central Michigan. He said he is looking at all of those schools as well as Iowa.

At the top of Macon's list are Ball State, Toledo and Bowling Green.
"I'm going to decide when the season starts or soon after," Macon said
QB- Dwight Macon- Steubenville- The leader of Big Red's offense arguably had a more impressive day as a defensive player. Macon played cornerback, and is not shy about hitting ball carriers. He did a tremendous job fighting off blocks and making solid hits. At quarterback, Macon moved the offense with some effectiveness. But, he does not appear to have Division-1 arm strength. However, Macon does a really nice job on bootlegs, locating the open receiver and getting the ball delivered quickly and accurately. He is a heck of a football player, and will find a position in college, but his lack of arm strength calls into question whether or not that position will be quarterback.
