After a successful career at Elkhart High School in Indiana, McGraw came to Penn State as a four-star signee, according to ESPN, and was a consensus top 10 player in the state, with ESPN ranking him No. 3. He redshirted the 2021 season and played little more in Year 2, although he did get his first college tackle in Penn State’s White Out win over Minnesota Oct. 22.
