Jabari McWilliams brings transfer-built power and a proven backfield disruptor’s résumé to Western Carolina
Jabari McWilliams is a 6-foot, 270-pound junior defensive lineman who arrives at Western Carolina after two productive seasons at Mississippi Gulf Coast CC, where he played 20 games and posted 57 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks, with 44 stops, 6.5 TFLs, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in the 2025 season. He looks like an interior run-stuffer with enough burst to create negative plays, and Western Carolina’s own position preview highlighted him as an immediate addition to a deep, upgraded defensive line. If you want a sturdy, physical DL who can help shrink run lanes and flash disruption, he’s worth the watch.
