Jimmy McKenzie brings size and edge-setting upside to USD’s linebacker room
Jimmy McKenzie is a fresh-faced San Diego Toreros linebacker with a strong defensive-line background, and that shows up in his profile: he was a team captain at Cardinal Newman, recorded 165 career tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 16.5 sacks and 11 quarterback hurries in high school, and was known as a high-motor edge player who can affect the pocket[3][6]. He looks like a developmental fit if you want toughness, versatility and a player who plays with urgency; the main question is how quickly his pass-rush instincts and run-fit discipline translate to the college level[2][3].
