Physical, downhill LB with proven production and no-nonsense toughness
McWherter’s calling card is old-school linebacker grit: at Murray State, he was described as tall, well-built, and physically suited to the inside spot, with a history of piling up tackles and flashing playmaking traits like sacks, forced fumbles, and interceptions in high school and college. His profile suggests a player who fits best in a defense that values instinct, aggression, and special-teams reliability. The caveat: the publicly available, current season-specific production for him is limited, so the safest read is that he brings toughness and pedigree more than headline-grabbing buzz.
