The senior linebacker led Georgia State with 10 tackles (seven solo), a tackle for loss and a fumble recovery in the Panthers' 30-24 win over in-state rival Georgia Southern.
McGee's fumble recovery came in the third quarter and gave the Panthers possession at the Georgia Southern 39-yard line, setting up a field goal that gave Georgia State a 30-17 lead.
With Georgia State holding a 20-14 lead in the second quarter, McGee tackled L.A. Ramsby for a 7-yard loss on 3rd-and-4, forcing a punt.
