Expert Analysis
Jordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
McBean made a significant jump moving to just outside the top 100 overall and is the sixth ranked RB in the 2027 class. 6’0” 205 lbs. he’s got a well-built frame with a strong lower half. Possesses a good mix of power and speed to be a dynamic ball carrier. Shows he can pick up tough yardage between the tackles with hard downhill running or work to the perimeter and turn the corner to the outside with speed. Flashes quick lateral agility while maintaining speed in/out of his cuts to avoid contact and separate from defenders. Plus top end speed and a sustained second gear once in space to extend gains and finish in the endzone. Runs with good pad level and leverage showing he can lower the shoulder and keep forward momentum to break contact. Like his ball security, protects with two hands upon contact with good timing and strength. Currently holds three offers from Sacramento State, New Mexico, and SDSU.
