Grayson McPherson is a developing Tulane linebacker with real upside and special-teams value
In the 2025 season, Grayson McPherson flashed as a 6-foot-3, 221-pound redshirt freshman who appeared in two games for Tulane and earned Academic All-Conference recognition. He’s a preferred walk-on who arrived as a two-way high school standout, and reports from Tulane’s 2026 spring work say he made steady gains in technique, physicality, and special-teams value while competing for depth behind an injury-thinned linebacker room. Translation: he may not be a headline star yet, but he looks like a tough, reliable development piece with room to grow.
