McKenzie played both linebacker and edge rusher, racking up seven sacks as a freshman. He has explosive athletic traits and that translates to the field. We hope to get more film on him as we’ve been impressed by what we’ve seen so far from the Mount Zion defender.

McKenzie is a more compact linebacker, but has explosive qualities and plays bigger than his height suggests. He doesn’t have a lot of film but he’s quick and decisive on the film we’ve seen. He’s an excellent blitzer, with seven sacks as a freshman and he has the ability to run down backs in the running game and fill gaps to make tackles at the line.
