Joshua Aaron McNary (born April 10, 1988) is an American football linebacker for the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League (NFL). McNary played college football at the United States Military Academy, and signed with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2013.
McNary played football at Clear Lake High School in Houston. McNary was an all-district selection for the defensive end position. Even though he led the team in sacks, he was not offered any scholarships because he did not play one specific position and lacked the ideal size for the college level.
McNary finished his career as Army’s all-time leader in sacks (28.0) and tackles for loss (49), while adding 195 tackles (117 solo), nine passes defensed, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. He is the only player in school history to record two double-digit sack seasons, and also held school records for the most sacks in a single game (4.0) and a single season (12.5).
As a senior in 2010, McNary capped off his career by returning a fumble 55 yards for a touchdown in the Black Knights’ 16–14 victory over SMU in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. The win gave Army its first winning season since 1996 and first postseason victory since the 1985 Peach Bowl. McNary was one of five finalists for the 2010 Burlsworth Trophy, which honors the most-outstanding college football player who began his career as a walk-on. He was also on the preseason watch lists for the 2010 Lombardi and Nagurski awards, and was a semifinalist for the 2010 Lott IMPACT Trophy, which is presented to the nation's top defensive player.
