a durable, local-product RB with sneaky burst and special-teams value at VMI
In the 2025 season, Ebenezer McCarthy appeared in two games for VMI and logged 1 carry for 7 yards, a tiny sample but a clean sign he’s at least in the offensive mix and not just a roster name. The bigger story is his profile: a Charlottesville native who came in as a productive high-school back, has steadily added size to about 6-foot-0, 210 pounds, and brings a blue-collar, do-your-job vibe that fits VMI’s brand. He looks like a developmental fit for a team that values toughness, versatility, and steady growth more than flashy stat lines.
