Walk-On Defensive Lineman Mari Atchison Transfers to OPSU After Oklahoma Stint
Mari Atchison, a 6'2", 268-pound defensive lineman from Tulsa, Oklahoma, joined Oklahoma as a walk-on from NOAH Homeschool in 2024[7]. The former Sooners prospect has since transferred to Oklahoma Panhandle State University as a mid-year transfer for the 2025 spring semester[8]. Known for his work ethic as a walk-on who earned his opportunity, Atchison represents a developmental prospect with positional versatility along the defensive line. His journey from homeschool to Power Five to FCS level reflects determination and adaptability—qualities valuable for programs seeking depth and character in their trenches.
