Yale’s edge rusher with Ivy size and developmental upside
Matthew McCabe is listed by Yale and recruiting outlets as a defensive end around 6-foot-3 to 6-foot-4 and 230-235 pounds, but there isn’t enough current public stat data here to credibly frame 2026 performance. The draw is the profile: a long, college-ready frame, Ivy-level academic fit, and a background that suggests he has lived in the program’s edge rotation rather than being a flash-in-the-pan name. If you need a sturdy, coachable DE with room to grow, McCabe is the kind of Yale defender worth a closer look.
