McIvor’s recent college production includes a 5-2 record as a starter at Western Kentucky, completing 67% of his passes for 2,062 yards, 12 touchdowns, and six interceptions, with an average of 7.6 yards per attempt. His path to the pros spans seven college seasons, after stints at Texas Tech (three years) and Abilene Christian (three years at the FCS level) before transferring to Western Kentucky for his final year. Notably, in 2024 he threw for 3,828 yards and 30 touchdowns at Abilene Christian.
Key context: the Cowboys did not select a quarterback in the draft or sign one in undrafted free agency, positioning McIvor as the likely opening signal-caller at their rookie minicamp, which is scheduled for the first two weekends of May. This development could influence early impressions and depth-chart discussions as Dallas evaluates quarterback options.
Key takeaways:
– Maverick McIvor is the Cowboys’ expected quarterback presence at rookie minicamp, with another invite to the Bears’ camp.
– McIvor has a multi-program college background and solid production in limited starting opportunities.
– The Cowboys’ lack of a drafted or signed quarterback early in the process emphasizes McIvor’s potential to emerge during minicamp.
