As a junior, he had 32 catches for 751 yards and 11 touchdowns and was named Class 3A All-Colorado.[1] He repeated as an All-Colorado selection as a senior after rushing for 226 yards, catching 30 passes for 450 yards, and scoring four total touchdowns while also recording 40 tackles and one sack on defense.[2] McBride holds the school's career records for points scored in basketball, as well as for career home runs and RBIs in baseball.[3]

College career

Considered a three-star recruit by 247Sports.com coming out of high school, McBride accepted a scholarship offer from Colorado State over offers from Colorado, Cal, Kansas State, Navy, Northern Colorado, and Wyoming.[4]

As a freshman, McBride played in all 12 of Colorado State's games, starting five games. He caught seven passes for 89 yards and one touchdown.[5] McBride was also an Academic All-Mountain West and was named first-team Academic All-Colorado by the Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation.[6]

As a sophomore, McBride was named first team All-Mountain West Conference in his sophomore season after finishing his first full season as a starter with 45 receptions for 560 yards and four touchdowns.[7] McBride recorded his first 100-yard receiving game on November 29, 2019, where he had 9 catches for 101 yards against Boise State.

Prior to his junior season and amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, McBride briefly entered the transfer portal before deciding to stay with the team.[8][9] McBride was one of two team captains and started all four games of the team's COVID-19-shortened 2020 season. McBride was named second team All-Mountain West after catching 22 passes for 330 yards and four touchdowns in four games and was also named an All-American honorable mention by Pro Football Focus.[10] McBride led the team in both receiving yardage and scoring and became the first CSU tight end to ever lead the team in points scored in a season.[11]

In anticipation of his senior season, McBride was named to a number of award watch lists, including the Biletnikoff Award, Mackey Award, Lombardi Award, and the Senior Bowl watch list.[12] On September 4, 2021, the first game of McBride's senior season, he recorded a college career-high 13 catches for 116 yards against South Dakota State and was named to the National Team of the Week by Pro Football Focus. In a week three 22-6 victory over Toledo, McBride caught nine passes for 109 receiving yards on a team-total 110 passing yards and was named the Offensive Player of the Week by the Senior Bowl.[13] On October 16, 2021, McBride recorded a college career-high 135 receiving yards on 7 receptions against New Mexico. On November 6, 2021, in a Border War loss to Wyoming, McBride had nine receptions for 98 yards and broke the CSU school record for career receiving yards by a tight end.[14]

McBride recorded at least 100 receiving yards in six of his 12 games played in 2021, and recorded less than 50 receiving yards only once.[15] McBride was recognized as the nation's best tight end in college football and received the 2021 Mackey Award on December 9, 2021.[16] He was also named a Walter Camp All-American and was named to the 2021 All-Mountain West Conference first team.

McBride holds multiple school records at Colorado State, including the records for most receptions and receiving yards by tight end in a single season (90 receptions for 1,121 yards in 2021), as well as the records for receptions and receiving yards in a career by a tight end (157 receptions for 2,011 yards from 2018 to 2021).[17] He was also named to all five major All-American teams (AFCA, AP, FWAA, SN, WCFF) in 2021, making him the fifth consensus All-American and first unanimous All-American in Colorado State football history.[18]
