McKay also showed that he can perform as a dual-threat quarterback. In 63 attempts, he ran for 432 yards and three touchdowns.

McKay began his career at Wakefield High School. He transferred to NC State in 2017. He played two years with the Wolfpack before transferring to Montana State for another with the Bobcats. He spent his senior year of college at Elon University Phoenix. After graduation, he played for the San Antonio Brahmas in the United Football League.

"There was no question"

“Last year, Matt joined us in a very difficult phase and completely convinced us of his worth,” says Galaxy sporting director Thomas Kösling. He adds: “For us as a franchise, there was no question of wanting to re-sign him and now that our new HC has also given the green light, we are very happy to be able to present Matthew as the Galaxy's QB next year.”

Galaxy is currently in a rebuild. After numerous changes to the coaching staff, it is now time for some decisions for their squad.
