William & Mary standout wide receiver Tre McBride will showcase his talents in front of coaches, scouts and front office personnel from all 32 NFL teams when he participates at the upcoming 2015 Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Ind.
From Feb. 17 and through Feb. 23, full coverage of the combine will be televised by the NFL Network. McBride is scheduled to work out with the wide receivers on Feb. 21.
McBride becomes the fifth Tribe player invited to the combine, as cornerback B.W. Webb (2013), defensive end Adrian Tracy (2010), quarterback Mike Cook (1999) and offensive lineman Archie Harris (1987) also participated at the event.
McBride will look to join six former Tribe players who are currently on NFL rosters – R.J. Archer (Seattle Seahawks), Jerome Couplin III (Philadelphia Eagles), Jonathan Grimes (Houston Texans), Mike Leach (Arizona Cardinals), Sean Lissemore (San Diego Chargers) and B.W. Webb (Pittsburgh Steelers).
McBride garnered significant praise at the 2015 East-West Shrine Game last month where he competed against some of the nation’s top professional prospects.
One of the country’s most dynamic playmakers, McBride is a three-time all-conference selection and garnered All-America distinction as a junior. As a senior, he ranked second in the Colonial Athletic Association with 131.2 all-purpose yards per game and ranked fourth in both receptions per game (5.8) and receiving yards per game (73.5).
Additionally, the McDonough, Ga., native finished the season with 64 catches for 809 yards and four touchdowns. Highlighting his performances was an 11-catch, 209-yard effort versus Villanova.
In addition to ranking second at W&M in career receptions (196), McBride also ranks fifth in receiving yards (2,653), tied for sixth in touchdown catches (19), fifth in all-purpose yards (4,281) and fifth in kickoff return yards (1,294).
