Scouting Notes

Length-and-leverage interior tackle whose recruiting profile still outruns his box score. McKinley arrived at LSU as the No. 14 overall recruit and flashed instantly — three sacks in four games as a freshman — but the 2025 follow-up was quiet rotation work: 12 tackles, one sack, nine games. At 6-6, 297 with natural power the staff keeps praising in camp, the tools argument stays fully alive. However, two years in, the career line is 19 tackles and four sacks, and five-star interior linemen usually own a rotation by now; this grade is mostly pedigree with a freshman flash attached, and it should be read that way. No 2027 board presence exists yet, which points to a 2028 timeline and gives him two full seasons to turn frame into wreckage. Day 3 read on today's evidence, with the ceiling grade (8.5) reserved for the version who finally plays to the ranking.
