Another highly touted 2029 face-off specialist, McGinn was dominant in the two games I watched this weekend. His hand speed jumped out right away—he routinely beat the three opponents I saw him face and set up his exits to use his quickness to collect the ball cleanly. He’s not the biggest guy out there, but he’s strong without being rigid, able to bend and rotate through tie-ups without giving up leverage. Hilltop resorted to collapsing its wings and swarming him with pressure, and how he handled it impressed me most. He stayed fluid, absorbed the contact, and never looked rattled. A full year of varsity starts seems to have sped up the learning curve, and he’s still got plenty of runway.
