Makari Pugh brings DB depth to an NC A&T defense looking to bounce back
Makari Pugh is a North Carolina A&T defensive back whose value is tied to adding depth and versatility to an Aggies secondary that has faced some tough recent results, including giving up 343 yards in a 24-21 loss to Tennessee State in 2025 and 62 points to NCCU later that season.[1][2] With limited publicly available stat-leader data in the provided sources, his appeal is more about fit than flash: a DB in a program that needs reliable, physical coverage help and players who can hold up in a high-volume defensive role.[1][2]
