Big, physical edge defender with mature, older-player upside
McKay Frandsen projects as a physically sturdy **edge defender** with the kind of maturity and focus coaches value in the trenches; recruiting profiles list him at 6-foot-3, 250 pounds and as a 2-star prospect, while older coverage has described him as one of the older players on his team whose maturity helps stabilize a young defense.[7][4] The main appeal is straightforward: he looks like a dependable, developmental DE who can bring strength and toughness, but available public reporting is limited on current NC State production, so his fit is best judged as a depth-and-upside add rather than a proven impact starter.[7][4]
