Versatile 6'5" Edge Rusher with NFL Pedigree and Multi-Position Flexibility
McCullough wrapped his 2025 senior season at Nebraska with 21 tackles, 5.0 TFLs, and 2.0 sacks across 11 games, earning honorable-mention All-Big Ten honors. The 6'5", 230-lb linebacker/edge hybrid brings rare positional versatility—he's played traditional linebacker, the "Cheetah" hybrid role, and pass rusher throughout his career. His standout freshman year at Indiana (49 tackles, 6.5 TFLs, 4.0 sacks in 2022) showcased elite instincts. With NFL bloodlines (father Deland McCullough, grandfather Sherman Smith both played/coached professionally), McCullough combines size, athleticism, and football intelligence—ideal for teams seeking a chess-piece defender who can line up multiple ways.
