Prior to his junior season and amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, McBride briefly entered the transfer portal before deciding to stay with the team.

He was named second team All-Mountain West after catching 22 passes for 330 yards and four touchdowns in four games and was also named an All-American honorable mention by Pro Football Focus (PFF).
