The senior is a highly-touted, four-star recruit. McGlothern has already cut his school list down to his Top 5 - Arkansas, LSU, Oregon, Texas and Georgia - and has already announced he will commit on January 4. So, when a recruiter comes in to talk to McGlothern these days, the senior goes and grabs teammates.
Teammates that the recruiter needs to meet and talk to, guys that McGlothern believes people should be looking at.

The 2019 season is the first for McGlothern at Klein Oak.
