Expert Analysis
Tyler Stevens | Prep Redzone Scout
McBride continues to be a thorn in the side of defenses that have to match up against him. He finished with eight catches for 82 yards and three touchdowns. He’s got incredible athleticism. He’s a jump-ball threat in the red zone. He’s great after the catch and can make himself slippery to tackle in open space. After missing half of last season, it’s clear that Jovon wants to make a statement this season.

Read EvaluationTyler Stevens | Prep Redzone Scout
McBride picked up an injury that kept him out of the first few weeks of the season, but I saw him on his return game. McBride didn’t wait to get going, as he had two touchdowns before halftime and picked up several 3rd and 4th down conversions in the win. McBride exposed the Amanda-Clearcreek defense with his explosiveness and athleticism. He does well at high-pointing balls and going vertical.

Read EvaluationBryan Ault | Prep Redzone Scout
McBride had 63 catches for 1,239 yards and 18 touchdowns as a sophomore. Expectations were high for the 6-foot-1 receiver’s junior season and he has delivered. McBride wins contested catches, shows good leaping ability to high-point the ball, and can run through contact after the catch.

Read EvaluationJared Luginbill | Prep Redzone Scout
McBride had a breakout sophomore season for the Rangers catching 60+ balls for 1,200+ yards. He’s a versatile receiver who’s comfortable playing inside or out. He has the short space quickness to run your bubble screens and reverses, but he also has the long speed to create separation and stretch the field vertically. He has well put together frame and the strength to go up and win contested catches. He’s a natural hands catcher who’s smooth in his transition to his turn and go. McBride is a two-way player for the Rangers as he also lines up at cornerback. Jovan currently holds offers from 4 of the 6 Ohio MAC schools. With a good camp season, he should continue to grow that list.
