The talented cornerback wore No. 34 throughout the offseason and in preseason games. McKinstry announced his decision to change his number via Instagram, switching to No. 14.

A Birmingham native, McKinstry grew into one of the best defenders in the Southeastern Conference, earning first-team All-SEC twice in 2022 and 2023.
