McKinstry transferred to Desert View to play out his sophomore year and made an immediate impact coming out of his mandated sit finishing with 52 tackles (42 solo) and four sacks in seven games. Possesses a projectable frame with good length and build for the position continuing to add good weight now at 6’3” 200 lbs. He’s a plus athlete with good reactionary quickness and game speed. He’s able to smoothly change directions and redirect based on ball carrier’s movement. Patient as he reads his keys and diagnoses the play but triggers quickly, showing he can plant and drive on the football to close space. Extremely active defender that plays fast and physical bringing heavy contact to every tackle using good leverage and pad level. Expect to see his recruiting take off this off season.
