Kentrail McRae brings Pitt a long, feisty ballhawk with real playmaking juice
A 2026 Pitt cornerback from Clearwater, McRae stands out for his 6-2 frame, football IQ, and ball skills; in the 2025 season at Clearwater, he logged 29 tackles, 9 pass breakups, 5 interceptions, and 2 forced fumbles, including two pick-sixes. Recruiting outlets describe him as a physical outside corner who can play man or zone, attacks routes with quick trigger skills, and helps in run support—traits that make him a strong fit for Pitt’s aggressive secondary. He looks like the kind of DB who can erase bigger receivers and flip a game in one snap.
