Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
McKenzie was stellar in his first year playing safety. Last year, he was previously a wide receiver and translated his skills to the defensive side. Measures in at 6’0 180-pounds, he had 107 total tackles (40 solo, 67 assisted), 2 TFL, 2 sacks, 2 INT, 1 FF, 1 FR for a TD. He has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, acceleration, jumping, and good change of direction. Very good read and reaction speed. He puts himself in position to make a play. When he’s out in his zone, and sees it’s run, he’ll come down and make that first contact against the running back. Aggressive and strong tackler. McKenzie does a great job in coverage as well. Very good man coverage and zone coverage. Sticky in man coverage, staying stride for stride with the WR. He uses his very good closing quickness to create pass break ups too. Sometimes he will be in the box to blitz and does a great job at it. He uses his explosive take off speed and good strength to blaze past the OL and get in the backfield. With another off-season under his belt at safety, I believe McKenzie will reach another level with his game.
