Redshirt freshman LB with early-game action and special-teams upside
McBride entered Marshall as a freshman linebacker in 2024, redshirted, and saw action in one game with a tackle against Stony Brook, so his current value is more about developmental upside than box-score production.[7][1] At 5-11 and 202 pounds, he brings a compact frame for the position and has already shown enough toughness to get on the field early, which suggests a player worth watching for physicality, effort, and growth potential.[7]
