Freshman CB Amari McGill is already flashing tackle juice for Murray State
Amari McGill enters 2026 as a freshman cornerback for Murray State, listed at 5-11 and 180 pounds, and he has already shown he’s willing to stick his nose in the run game with 9 total tackles across the first two games of the 2026 season, including 4 solo stops in each outing. That’s a good sign for a young defensive back: he’s active, physical, and not shy about contact. The ball production hasn’t arrived yet, but if you want a CB who looks comfortable playing downhill and competing early, McGill is an interesting under-the-radar name worth watching.
