Profile: McFarland’s best quality is his ability to explode off the ball. He usually gets off low, and knocks the blocker back. However, if necessary, he can also use his hands to shed. He is a great tackler, and meets a lot of running backs in the hole, but he can also get after the quarterback. McFarland was named district 15-5A Defensive MVP as a junior in 2007.
Selection Committee Quote: “Polished and talented, McFarland has it all: size, quickness and strength. He can beat you in any number of ways and he has the versatility to play all over the defensive interior.”
Miami coach Al Golden says the worst is behind him, but his headaches figure to continue now that former booster Nevin Shapiro, now in jail, says his involvement with the Hurricanes program will result in stiff penalties.
CFT: Jordan Jefferson makes it clear he wasn't happy with LSU's game plan in the Tigers' BCS Championship Game loss to Alabama.
