New Mexico's Explosive True Freshman EDGE with Elite HS Sack Production
At just 19 years old in 2024-25, 6-3, 237-lb Hyrum McCarter is a raw but electrifying EDGE for the New Mexico Lobos, exploding off the edge with a blistering 4.74 40-yard dash and rare athleticism for his size. His 2023-24 Pieper HS stats scream upside—5.0 sacks, 42 total tackles (3.2 per game), and 2 fumble recoveries—far above national averages, earning all-district honors alongside rugby and wrestling grit that fuels his relentless motor. No college stats yet as a true freshman, but his multi-sport tenacity makes him a disruptive pass-rush fit for teams craving high-energy edge setters.
