McKinley is not living up to his five star rating as a defensive tackle. He has good size and some quickness, but he does not make plays. Personally, I think that he could be a very good offensive tackle, and we certainly need offensive tackles.

He made plays all year. He also took on blocks to allow the LB to make plays which is the design in Bakers defense. Kid was a true freshman.

That was a 5 star face mask penalty.

First, he’s not a true freshman. He’s a sophomore. And he didn’t make plays all year. In fact most of the time you didn’t even know he was on the field. Gooden made plays in Baker’s defense. Guillory made plays in Baker’s defense. McKinley didn’t.

Hes not a bad player. He just hasn’t been the game wrecker most hope to see from a 5 star, top rated DT.
