McGhee spent his rookie season with the BC Lions in 2015 after completing a stellar career at Howard. He was cut by the Lions in June.
“Thanks to everyone who had faith in me and wished the best for me,” McGhee told HBCU Gameday on Monday. “All glory to God.”
McGhee completed 731 of 1,296 pass attempts for 7,589 yards and 49 TDs and gained 2,579 rushing yards on 535 carries with 26 TDs in 43 career games at Howard, winning co-MEAC Offensive Player of The Year as a senior in 2014.
