rangy, tone-setting tackler with NFL-caliber ball production upside
In the 2024 season, Donovan McMillon was a second-team All-ACC DB who led Pitt with 115 tackles, adding 8 passes defended, 1 interception, and 1 forced fumble while starting 12 of 13 games[1][5]. At 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, he brings a long, physical frame, strong run support, and steady pursuit instincts; scouting reports also credit him with reliable tackling and special-teams value, though he’s viewed more as a strong safety type than a true every-down shutdown defender[1][9]. If your defense wants a high-motor, high-activity back-end enforcer, he’s absolutely a name to know[1][9].
