High School Career
McIntosh was a dual sport star at Cardinal Gibbons High School playing both football and basketball. When he was being scouted by colleges many saw him as a star defensive end due to his eye popping senior year numbers which totaled out to be 70 tackles, 12 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Per his ESPN profile his measurable were 6’ 4” and 240 pounds so he could translate well to a defensive end at the next level. McIntosh decided to sign with Miami over the likes of Clemson, Florida, Georgia Tech and Wisconsin.
