McNeill saw some action in Tennessee playing 72 snaps as a redshirt freshman last season, recording 3 tackles. A 3-star recruit out of Suwanee, Georgia in 2021, he was recruited as an offensive tackle, but later transitioned to a defensive tackle.
Per Ryan Sylvia from the VolReport:
As a Suwanee, Georgia native, McNeill's only power-five offers came from the Vols, Minnesota and Washington State.
Upon joining the program, McNeill was quickly switched to the defensive side of the football.
In 2021, McNeill earned a redshirt after appearing in just one game against South Alabama.
The following year, McNeill saw the field in six contests. In those games, he recorded three tackles. He also swatted a ball at the line of scrimmage in the season opener vs. Ball State.
McNeill now enters the portal with three years of eligibility remaining. At 6-foot-4 and 285 pounds, he has good size for an interior defensive lineman.
