Vito McConnell is a long, physical young linebacker with upside at Miami (OH)
McConnell entered Miami (OH) as a redshirt freshman linebacker and has the frame teams want at 6-3 and 221 pounds, with early-game experience after appearing in three games in 2025. His high school production at Massillon Washington was strong, including 65 tackles and 12 tackles for loss as a senior, which points to real backfield disruption and downhill instincts. EA’s launch ratings also credit him with solid athletic traits like speed, acceleration, toughness, and hit power, making him an intriguing developmental fit if you want size, effort, and special-teams value from a young defender.[3][1]
