Muheem McCargo brings compact, physical secondary depth to Ball State
McCargo is a **senior defensive back** whose value shows up in the dirty-work details: he’s a sturdy 5-10, 215-pound defender with a tackling-first profile and proven production at multiple stops, including 22 tackles in Ball State’s 2025 regular season through seven games. His background suggests he can handle contact, play with urgency, and contribute immediately on special teams or in sub-packages; the tradeoff is that his ball-production numbers have been modest, so his fit is strongest for a team that wants a reliable, physical presence rather than a turnover-hunting playmaker.[1][4][5]
