247 Evaluation of McGahee
“A stand-up edge rusher with strong bloodlines that can get after the quarterback. Totaled 13 sacks as a junior while playing in one of the Sunshine State’s higher classifications and was credited with nearly two dozen more pressures. Size hasn’t been verified in a few years, but is built more like a linebacker than a traditional defensive end. Might lack the desired reach, but makes up for his lack of length with his burst and ability to change directions. Experienced in hand-to-hand combat and can win with a handful of different moves out on the perimeter. Must, however, continue to keep evolving as a corner attacker if he’s going to reach his full potential and learn how to bring it every single snap. Tweener measurables might not be for everyone, but naturally lower center of gravity combined with an adequate get-off is certainly promising. Could likely be deployed in a variety of different defensive schemes, but skill set might be best suited for a “Jack” role in a 3-4 front. Will only add more value if he can drop back into coverage and consistently make a difference at the second level.”
I believe he is moving from Edge to LB at his new school this fall
