About McPherson Updated Jul 24, 2026

Alexander McPherson is a big-bodied Colorado edge who flashed disruptive upside in 2025

McPherson’s 2025 Colorado debut showed a promising rotational DE who can stress plays without needing elite production volume: in 10 games, he logged 16 tackles, 6 quarterback hurries, 0.5 sack, 0.5 tackle for loss, and a blocked punt, with his best trait being activity and length at 6-foot-6, 240 pounds. He stands out more as a high-upside, effort-driven disruptor than a finished pass-rush product, and the blocked punt suggests special-teams value as well. If your team wants an athletic, developmental edge defender who can impact the game in multiple phases, he’s worth attention.
