Chris McClellan
Wins the gap play after play. Played for two head coaches across four seasons and two programs. The first one came in 2025: All-SEC. One game to point at: 7 tackles against Texas A&M — Week 11, 2025.
Play style
Stout at the point of attack — steady tackle-for-loss production without a standout pass-rush number.

What the box score actually says
48 tackles. 2 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 8 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
