Another Bull that has made an impact this season in the NFL is defensive tackle Terrell McClain. The 6-2 291-pound 3rd round pick of the Carolina Panthers had his season cut short with a knee sprained that landed him on the disabled list, but this did not stop him from winning the starting role this season.
McClain had 19 tackles, 1 sack, and forced one fumble before his season came to an end. Usually, rookies that are taken in later rounds have to wait their turn to become a starter and usually forced to a reserve role, but Dancing Bear earned his way to the top of the depth chart before going out.
As he recovers from the knee sprain, McClain continues a legacy of defensive players from USF that have made huge impacts in the profs. From McClain to JPP to Mistral Raymond, the recent Bulls that have been drafted in the NFL have all been on the field and have made huge impacts this season for each team. USF continues to recruit and develop players that make an impact at the next level. This only helps elevate the Bulls in the eyes of the pros and for potential recruits that want to come to a program that can help develop them for the next level.
