3-star on 247 Composite/Rivals/ESPN

Josh Ward’s Analysis: McNeill is a two-way lineman who will likely play defense for the Vols. Tennessee is looking for more size up front on defense and targeted McNeill, who likely would have received more college attention if not for the COVID-19 impact on recruiting.

Eric Cain’s Analysis: Tennessee was late in the game for McNeill, offering in late November, but like his versatility and size playing on both sides of the ball. The Vols’ believe his offensive background will play dividends on the defensive line where he displays a great get-off and hand placement when going up against blocking schemes he’s all too familiar with. McNeill has good size (6-4, 280) but will be a work in progress as Tennessee was easily his biggest offer.
