[edit] High school career
McGee was a three-year starter at quarterback for Class 3A Burnet High School, where he led his team to a 36-5 win to loss combined record, including a 28-2 mark as a junior and senior. He did not throw a single interception in his junior season. In both of those seasons, he led his team to the Texas 3A state finals. He finished his high school career with 8,256 passing yards and a 3A state-record 101 passing touchdowns.[1] McGee was a two-time all-state selection and was named the 3A Offensive Most Valuable Player after his senior year. He also played basketball and track and field, earning all-district honors in both. A straight-A student, McGee was Burnet’s No. 1-ranked student-athlete and graduated 9th in his senior class of over 250. He graduated high school a semester early.[2]
McGee attended high school with Texas Longhorn wide receiver Jordan Shipley, who remains a close friend and a hunting partner.[3]

[edit] 2005 season
He played his first game for Texas A&M on September 7, 2005 against Southern Methodist University completing 3/3 for 56 yards. His next appearance was in Texas A&M's 40-21 loss to the Colorado Buffaloes on October 8, 2005 where he 9/15 for 112 yard with 2 carries for 15 yards. He was 3/3 for 32 yards with 3 carries for 13 yards in Texas A&M's win against Oklahoma State, but 0/2 with 1 carry for no yardage in Texas A&M's loss against Iowa State, 0/1 with 1 carry for 12 yards in the loss to Texas Tech, and 0/6 with 10 carries for 67 yards in the loss to Oklahoma.
McGee took over as quarterback for the final two games of the season due to an injury to starter Reggie McNeal. In those games, McGee rushed for 175 yards on 34 carries (5.1 per carry) and completed 9-of-29 passes for 83 yards, while leading the Aggies to 10 scoring opportunities on 19 drives. For the season, McGee completed 24-of-53 passes for 283 yards and two touchdowns and one interception in eight games. He rushed for 235 yards and two touchdowns on 43 carries (5.5 average). During the final game against Texas, McGee outrushed Texas QB Vince Young 108 yards to 19, but this was not enough to win against the Longhorns who outscored the Aggies 40-29.[4]
