Brandon McKinney brings proven front-seven production and a high-activity motor to New Mexico State
McKinney’s appeal is straightforward: he’s a sturdy, experienced defender with a track record of being around the football, including a 2021 Utah season in which he played all 14 games, started 10 times, and finished with 64 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, one sack, and two pass breakups. That profile suggests a physical, assignment-sound player who can help stabilize a defense with production, toughness, and flexibility in the secondary/front-seven conversation. If you value reliability, effort, and a player who has already shown he can handle a starter’s workload, he’s the kind of fit teams like to plug in quickly.
