Hirschman played on the university\u2019s volleyball team from 2018 to 2022. McCormick was a standout guard for the Jackrabbits, vaulting his way into NFL eyes and becoming the Steelers\u2019 fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"OUPMHBZ2XJGOVDTA4OYNGGPCRU\">After\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennlive.com\/steelers\/2025\/03\/miami-dolphins-sign-veteran-pittsburgh-steelers-guard.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.pennlive.com\/steelers\/2025\/03\/miami-dolphins-sign-veteran-pittsburgh-steelers-guard.html\">James Daniels<\/a>\u00a0went down in Week 4 with a hand injury, McCormick started the rest of the way at right guard. Throughout the season, he played at right guard, a bit at left guard, and even saw snaps as the team\u2019s sixth offensive lineman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"KHWKYNXTDBHHHFPNL3XAWVDT2Q\">McCormick is expected to be one of the players who can become a stalwart for the Steelers along their offensive line. That is why they drafted him along with Zach Frazier and Troy Fautanu to help rebuild a once-stagnant group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pittsburgh Steelers second-year guard Mason McCormick is now engaged.
