Suiting up at Nashville’s Lipscomb Academy, the 5-foot-9, 170-pounder plays for former NFL signal caller Trent Dilfer. Having a chance to know him on and off of the football field, Dilfer shared the following on Friday afternoon after learning the news of McNamara’s scholarship offer from the Buckeyes coaching staff.
