Trey McBride Named to 2021 John Mackey Award Watch List
McBride earned honorable mention All-American honors for his 2020 season.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State senior tight end Trey McBride, a 2020 honorable mention All-American by Pro Football Focus, was named to the John Mackey Award Watch List on Friday.
The Mackey Award Watch List, given to the nation’s top tight end, has been a regular spot for McBride to appear over the course of his career.
In 2020, McBride graded out high for PFF as both a blocker and a receiver, giving him a 90.8 receiving grade last season after leading the team with 22 receptions for 330 yards and four touchdowns; he also became the first tight end in program history to lead the team in scoring. He was tied for the 6th-best mark nationally in receiving grade by a tight end and was 14 spots higher than the next closest Mountain West tight end, Air Force’s Kyle Patterson.
Only two other Mountain West tight ends appeared in the Top 50, both from Wyoming.
For his career, McBride has steadily climbed the charts for Colorado State tight ends and enters the 2021 campaign one touchdown away from tying Joel Dreessen for the second-most touchdown receptions in a career. He also has the second-best yards per catch average by a tight end in Ram history.
Colorado State opens fall camp on August 5 ahead of a Sept. 3 season opener against South Dakota State in Canvas Stadium.
