In his junior campaign, McGee caught a total of 19 passes for 136 yards. He also scored four touchdowns on the year, with two of them coming in a single game against Alabama A&M.

The Jackson State Tigers will need McGee's help if they hope to win the conference once again. Following their SWAC Championship and Celebration Bowl appearance in 2022, the Tigers went 7-4 and finished second in the SWAC East Division. Their 5-3 conference record paled in comparison to Florida A&M's flawless 8-0 conference record. In order to topple the Rattlers next season, the Tigers need to retain all the talent they can, and keeping McGee is an excellent first step.
