Ohio State flip Darryus McKinley brings disruptive edge power and high-motor versatility
McKinley is a 6-foot-3, 270-pound Louisiana defensive lineman who profiles as a strong, versatile edge piece for Ohio State after flipping from LSU. In his senior season at Acadiana, he posted 72 tackles, 27 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks, and earlier in high school he showed similar disruption with 50 tackles, 18 TFL and 10 sacks as a junior. Evaluators praise his speed, hands, burst off the line and physicality at the point of attack, plus four straight years of academic all-conference honors that hint at a steady, coachable fit.
