McFall is rated as a 4-star ATH per the 247 Sports Composite. He’s also the No. 33 ATH nationally and the 69th player out of Texas for the class of 2024.
Throughout high school, McFall also plays basketball and participated in track with a 100-meter time of 11.15 as a sophomore. Whether he lines up as a running back or wide receiver, McFall has versatility and is a dangerous open-field threat with the ball in his hands.
