Dru McClough is a depth-building center with starter upside if the back is fully healed
In 2025, Dru McClough arrived at East Carolina after starting 11 of 12 games at center for Presbyterian in 2024, but a preseason back injury cost him the entire season, so his 2026 value hinges on health and a reset in camp. The appeal is obvious: he already has real center experience, three years of eligibility left, and ECU brought him in to help a position of need. If he regains his strength, he’s the kind of steady, no-drama interior lineman who can give a team grit, flexibility, and competition in the middle.
