McKinley is another lock down defensive back. A corner, he comes in at 5’10” weighing 170 pounds. He is an ideal player when you think of defensive backs, with the crucial ability of being able to rotate his body and turn his hips on a dime.
Last season, McKinley snared four interceptions along with 38 tackles, two of which were for a loss. He has been high on the Aggies for a while now and his crystal ball predictions have A&M up on Texas Tech, 67 percent to 33 percent.
McKinley earned his offer from A&M in February of 2016 and since then he has been to College Station four times. He is currently a four star and the No. 240 player overall in the nation, No. 24 at his position.

WIth McKinley, Moore, O’Neal, and other top defensive back recruits looking at A&M, it could make for a very special defensive back class for the Aggies in 2018.
