Expert Analysis
Conner Smith | Prep Redzone Scout
The Tyner Academy tailback is an outstanding player with excellent skills. He’s a do-it-all RB who thrives running the football, but can also hurt you in the receiving game. McNealy is a compact player at 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds who uses his build well to weave through traffic and fight for extra yards.
He has excellent vision and twitch when toting the rock, while showing patience to allow running lanes to open up. He checks all the boxes for a finesse runner, but he’s also strong and can lower his shoulder if necessary. McNealy isn’t afraid to run through somebody, and that physicality makes him a full-package player.

It took me a minute to realize it, but McNealy is the same 2028 running back prospect that played on the 6th grade (2022) and 7th Grade (2023) Tennessee Future Stars last year. McNealy is from Chattanooga (Tennessee) but is literally on the borderline between the two states. At 5-foot-9 and 160 pounds, he’s a very complete running back. I currently have him ranked as a Top 5 Middle Tennessee running back and am on record saying, that he strikes me as a player with a huge upside. Nice jump cuts and transitions when slicing across the field. Finishes runs well with solid balance and control.”

proved he can be dangerous any time the rock is in his hands. His average per carry is crazy in some competitions, averaging 30+ yards a carry in some games. He’s been selected to the Tennessee Future Stars and strikes me as a player with a huge upside. Nice jump cuts and transitions when slicing across the field. Finishes runs well with solid balance and control.

is built like a stud. He is strong with sneaky speed to finish long runs. I call him a hopper because he has that unique gallop in and out of cuts that resembles James Cook (Buffalo Bills). McNealy looks like a high school running back already in the physical, but as he develops his game on the other two phases (receiving, blocking) I believe he will be one to know by his sophomore year.
