Position: Running back
Size: 5-11, 190
Speed: 4.4

Coach Bobby Engle:
“McPherson is one of those guys that should be going Division-I after next year. He does have that breakaway speed. He’s slippery. He hits the crease and he’s gone and has really good hips.”
McPherson an unknown:
“We don’t get a lot of exposure like central Arkansas and Northwest Arkansas does.We don’t have anyone broadcasting our games.”
Grades and character:
“He’s over a 3.0 grade point average. He’s a 'Yes sir, No sir’ type kid. Always dependable.He treats his teammates right. He’s always looking out for the guy next to him. I don’t have to worry outside the program.”
