Former transfer-portal escapee trending for edge reps at Nebraska
McGahee is a 6-foot-1, 240-pound redshirt sophomore who stayed in Lincoln after briefly entering the portal in January 2026, a nice sign that Nebraska still sees upside in his edge/linebacker blend. In the 2025 season, he played in five games to preserve his redshirt and logged 4 total tackles, while his broader collegiate line includes 17 tackles, 1 sack and 2 forced fumbles. The draw here is his length, physicality and pass-rush potential more than gaudy stats—he looks like a developmental chess piece who could fit a 4-2-5 edge role if his urgency and consistency keep climbing.
