McMillon, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound junior, is considered a three-star recruit. Rivals.com ranks him as the 18th-best recruit in Pennsylvania in the class of 2021 and the top-rated safety.

McMillon’s prospect stock rose dramatically as he helped Peters Township to a WPIAL title game appearance in the fall.

He just completed a successful wrestling season, reaching the WPIAL and PIAA finals. He lost both matches to Canon-McMillan’s Gerrit Nijenhuis, a Purdue recruit who was named Trib HSSN WPIAL wrestler of the year.
