2022: Joined the program in the spring of 2022 in time for winter conditioning

2021: Was a greyshirt.

High School: A two-star rated prospect by 247Sports… Did not play senior season due to Covid regulations… Named first-team all-league as a junior at inside linebacker, despite only playing in six of 10 games due to injury… Also competed in track at Cheney HS… Also held an offer from Idaho.

Personal: Parents are Casey and Melissa McGourin of Cheney… Older brother Jacob also plays for the Grizzlies… Dad Casey was a football player at Eastern Washington… Last name pronounced: Mc-GOW-rin… Enjoys snowmobiling, dirt biking, hunting and fishing.

Quoting Coach Hauck: “Ben is the brother of current Grizzly Jacob McGourin. Ben will continue to get bigger and stronger, as you’d expect. He was a linebacker and his team’s MVP at Cheney High School, in the neighborhood of Eastern Washington. But he has the size and ability to play multiple positions in our defensive front seven. We’re excited to get another McGourin brother here and see where he fits in."
