Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
McLaren is a difficult player to place in a positional box. He lists fullback and defensive end on his Hudl page. They certainly are logical possibilities. The South Dakota State commitment might best fit as an H-Back in modern offenses that have phased out the fullback position. It’s a hybrid fullback/tight end. It emphasizes a player’s blocking ability while also making him a threat to run a route. McLaren’s 11th-grade highlight video is entertaining. He often starts out at fullback in an I-Formation. From there, he gashes defenses after a handoff or running routes. His blocking can be devastating. It feels like McLaren is just scratching the surface of his considerable upside, which should excite Trojan and Jackrabbit fans.
