Physical, disruptive Miami (OH) linebacker with proven playmaking flashes
McKinney is a 6-foot, 209-pound redshirt junior linebacker who played in 10 games in 2025 and delivered a compact but meaningful stat line: 6 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 forced fumble, including a sack vs. Eastern Michigan and a strip in the win over Ball State.[1][2] His profile suggests a lean, active defender with solid speed and pursuit traits, plus enough toughness and injury durability to stay available.[4] He looks like a fit for teams wanting an instinctive, high-effort backer who can create negative plays even without gaudy volume.[1][4]
