2008 Senior Day Tribute: Nevin McKenzie

Nevin McKenzie

According to the unassailable RTT Jars recruiting ranking system, Nevin McKenzie was No. 15 in the Class of 2007. McKenzie was recruited as a safety, but ended up at linebacker. Thank goodness. The man has been a monster there.

McKenzie started all 14 games in 2007 and really began to make his presence known toward the end of the season as a blitz specialist. So far in 2008, he's played in 11 games and started seven of them. Career stats:

If you're like me, you'll be wondering why you didn't appreciate Nevin McKenzie more after watching this video. We're going to miss this guy.

So basically, you're saying that

he’s a senior who didn’t get on the field enough?

If so, then who in the world have we been playing? 8-0
