OKLAHOMA CITY – Mid-America Christian University Athletic Director Marcus Moeller is proud to announce that Kyle Highfill has been promoted to the new role of Coordinator of Athletic Operations as of June 1.

"The addition of this full time role to our athletic staff is another tremendous step forward for MACU Athletics," said Moeller. "With the incredible facilities additions and necessary additional internal operational needs, this role fills a huge gap for our department."

Highfill will primarily be tasked with the management of the newly built O'Brien Training Center as well as continue his role of handling gameday operations.

"I am super excited to step into a new full-time position at MACU," said Highfill. "I have enjoyed working alongside some great staff and have learned a lot along the way. Marcus Moeller has been a great mentor to me ever since I started school at MACU and it's been awesome to work under him for these past few years. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for MACU Athletics!"
 
"I could not be more excited to partner with Kyle," Moeller added. "He has worked incredibly hard over the past four years, mostly in the unnoticed, unseen, long hours that small college athletics demands. Without question our athletic department is better because of his work ethic during that time.  Kyle loves the Lord and has a passion for athletic excellence. There is no doubt that he will star in this new role and play a large role in the continued rapid growth of MACU Athletics."
