Productive, high-motor Colorado linebacker with a disruptive edge
McCartney was a steady, physical presence for Colorado, finishing his Buffs career with 85 solo tackles, 13.5 sacks, and 1 interception, with his best impact coming as a pass-rusher and run defender.[4][2] What makes him more than a stat line is his resilience: reports note he overcame a season-ending injury and personal loss, then returned as a mature, team-guiding presence in Boulder.[3] He looks like a fit for teams that value toughness, versatility, and leadership from a linebacker who can create pressure and play with urgency.[6][8]
