McKenzie checks into our updated rankings as a top 40 player at his position, and sees a uptick in his overall ranking as well to round out the 2025 class. The San Diego signee had one of the better seasons of any Bay Area defender, and is a physical and violent edge player with tremendous technique in the run and pass game and is a high motor guy at all times. He should translate nicely to a true OLB/Edge player at the next level and is a already very polished prospect that has a diverse toolbox heading to the college ranks.
