Height: 6-2
Weight: 223 pounds
Hometown: Vidalia, Georgia

Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Nate McBride has played in all 43 games that he’s been eligible for throughout the first three seasons of his career. McBride is durable and plays a lot of special teams snaps.
He came to Athens as a four-star recruit and is looking to finish out his collegiate career on a sweet note. He played track in addition to football in high school.
He’s accumulated 20 tackles over his career including one in the Rose Bowl against Oklahoma. McBride will have an opportunity to see more playing time in 2020 with the departure of Tae Crowder. He’ll have to battle Nakobe Dean for a spot on the field. He could work his way into the large rotation Dan Lanning likes to utilize.
He stepped up versus Tennessee last season en route to a three-tackle performance:

McBride has a great take on his lack of playing time despite being a big-time recruit. Way to stay positive Nate!
