Makhete Gueye brings size, experience, and position flexibility to Missouri State’s offensive line
A 6-foot-6, 310-pound fifth-year lineman, Makhete Gueye gives Missouri State a big, versatile blocker with experience at guard and tackle, and he was part of the Bears’ 2026 battle for starting jobs up front. He arrived from Louisville after a long developmental path — he only started playing football in high school after growing up in Senegal — which makes his rise especially intriguing. The appeal here is frame, trajectory, and adaptability; the question for a roster is how quickly that raw upside turns into reliable, week-to-week pass protection and run-game power.
