McBride, a 6-foot-7 forward out of Plano, TX, told KSR+ that he’s eying a visit to Kentucky for Tuesday, April 21. He is working to confirm the visit as he sorts out transcript details.
During the 2025-26 season, McBride averaged 15.3 points on 49.4 percent shooting, with 5.6 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game in 31 games. Before James Madison, McBride spent the 2023-24 season at Oklahoma State and the 2024-25 season at Nevada.
