Texas Southern’s Markel McNeal: compact, versatile, and still waiting for a breakout sample
Markel McNeal is a sophomore, 6-foot, 160-pound Texas Southern athlete from Houston who’s listed as an active receiver/ATH, but public stat pages show little to no 2026 game-log production so far, which makes him more of a developmental watch than a proven impact producer right now. His appeal is the versatility implied by the ATH label and the local-Texas profile: he looks like a lean, movement-based player who could fit a creative offense that values flexibility, space-play speed, and special-teams utility rather than pure size or power.
