McCormick's numbers across seven URC appearances paint a clear picture of a high-impact replacement whose primary contribution is defensive, averaging over three tackles per outing from limited minutes. His tackle volume stands out most — a peak of 11 in a single game signals the ability to step in and immediately stabilise a defensive line under pressure. Carrying is a secondary output in his current role, though his best games show he can contribute with ball in hand when given the opportunity.
