FIU’s rising, do-everything wideout with room to climb
In the 2025 season, McNeal posted 31 catches for 310 yards and a touchdown for FIU, then entered 2026 on the Panthers’ preseason CUSA watch list, which tells you coaches see him as more than a filler piece[2][3]. He’s a 6-1, 185-pound receiver with defensive-back instincts from his high school days, giving him toughness, ball skills, and a useful edge after the catch[1]. He doesn’t yet scream superstar production, but he looks like a reliable, versatile fit for a team that values effort, flexibility, and steady year-over-year growth[1][3].
