McKie will be a name that should be on our watchlist as he enters his senior season.

Solon does well in producing specialists and the program boasts a pair of solid place-kickers right now. One of McKie’s main attributes is his versatility. He connected on 14 extra-points as a sophomore in 2024 and also punted seven times. The Spartans graduated their punter, so McKie has an opportunity there. He also will take a crack at more chances kicking. During his 10th-grade highlight video, McKie displays power in his left leg in splitting the uprights. He generates it with a repeatable process and easy swing. There definitely could be more in the tank with two years of high school remaining.
