Not many people can say they are a third-generation Spartan athlete, but for fifth-year senior wide receiver Brock Makaric, that’s exactly what he is.

One might say his family bleeds green.

Makaric, a Saginaw native, is back for his senior season after having graduated last spring with a degree in economics. Makaric is pursuing a master’s in human resources and labor relations and is the fourth member of his family to proudly wear the Green and White.

His grandfather, Mike Vorkapich, was a catcher for the Spartan baseball team, and one of his uncles, Steve Vorkapich, was a pitcher for the baseball team in the 1980s.
