Earlier this week, Isaiah McMillian, a defensive back from Katy, Texas, kicked off his season debut with a noteworthy high three-star 87 rating on 247Sports. McMillian is the kind of player who offers versatility in the defensive backfield, having shown his skills both as a cornerback and a safety. In the fall of 2024, he not only held his ground on defense, but also took on special teams duties by returning punts.
When it comes to coverage, McMillian stands out with his ability to read plays and react quickly. He’s particularly impressive in off-man coverage, confidently able to shift into a downhill posture to confront running plays and screen passes. His agility and speed, honed by a strong track background, allow him to seamlessly transition into sprinting downfield when needed. This spring, McMillian clocked 100-meter dash times of 10.72, 10.73, and 10.86, as reported by MileSplit and Athletic.net.
Given his potential to fill multiple roles in college and his verified track speed, it’s no surprise that McMillian is attracting a lot of recruiting attention. Over the last week, his list of offers has expanded to include over a dozen schools, with the most recent interest coming from TCU, Utah State, UTSA, North Texas, Southern Miss, and Texas State. – Brooks
