[2] He committed to playing college football at NC State. [2]

College career

McMahon attended NC State University in Raleigh, North Carolina, from 2019 through 2024. In college and beyond, he stuck to playing on the offensive side of the ball. [2]

McMahon was selected with the 14th pick in the 6th round (190th overall) of the 2024 NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. [5]

Soon after the 2024 NFL draft, Jason Kelce — the seven-time Pro Bowl and six-time first-team All-Pro selection who won Super Bowl LII, is often regarded as one of the greatest centers in NFL history, [6] [7] and spent his entire 13-year career as the Eagles starting center — was hanging out in the Eagles’ weight room prior to their 2024 rookie minicamp, giving the Kelce and McMahon the opportunity to meet one another. [8] [9] McMahon described the interaction by saying, "First he looked at me and said, 'Undersized center? We have that in common.'" It was noted that this interaction was not by chance: "Eagles general manager Howie Roseman made sure McMahon and Kelce were able to get acquainted, attempting to maximize every opportunity for the sixth-round rookie to succeed in the league." [8] Interestingly, as of their spring 2024 meeting, Kelce and McMahon both were 6’ 3” tall and both weighed 299 pounds. [8] Additionally, while Kelce was selected as the 191st overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft, McMahon was selected only one spot earlier, as the 190th overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. [8]
