Jackson McCarthy Jackson McCarthy 6'4" | 205 lbs | LB Canyon View | 2026 State AZ is a long, twitchy edge defender who makes life tough on offensive tackles. At 6’4”, 205 pounds, he’s got the kind of frame college coaches love, and he uses every inch of it to his advantage. Whether he’s bending around the edge or using a quick slant to work inside, McCarthy finds ways to get into the backfield. His blend of speed and strength makes him a mismatch — he’s just as comfortable slipping past a block as he is walking his man back into the quarterback’s lap. What separates him is his effort. He plays with a relentless motor that keeps him in every play, even when the initial read breaks down. That pursuit, combined with real explosion off the line, makes him a constant disruption. McCarthy’s not just flashing traits — he’s putting together complete, high-impact reps that force offenses to adjust.
