About McBride Updated May 10, 2026

Versatile NC State Linebacker with Elite Athleticism

McBride is a 6'3", 210-lb linebacker for NC State who brings rare versatility to the position—he's logged 144 tackles over his final two varsity seasons while also catching 30 passes (10 for TDs) as a junior. His standout athleticism shines through with 89 acceleration and 82 agility ratings in EA Sports College Football 26. A three-star prospect from Alabama, McBride combines defensive instincts with receiving skills that make him a chess piece in modern defenses. Limited playing time recently suggests he's still developing consistency, but his multi-sport background (basketball, track) signals elite-level athleticism and work ethic.
