talented linebacker with real upside, but still waiting for his EKU breakout
Ed McKee brings appealing size and a classic linebacker frame at 6-1, 213, and his recruiting path shows he was pursued by programs like Kentucky, Miami, TCU, South Florida, Montana, and Coastal Carolina before landing at Eastern Kentucky.[2] The big catch: he has been a mystery box on the field, with EKU listing no game action in 2024 and noting he did not play at Kentucky in 2022 or at Coastal Carolina in 2023 because of preseason injury.[3] If your team wants a physical, high-upside LB bet rather than an immediate stat-sheet monster, McKee is the kind of project worth watching.[2][3]
