A native of Victorville, California, McClain moved to Covina, California when he was 13.[2] In his junior year at Covina High School, McClain won both the 100 m and 200 m California state championship.[3] He was named a 2010 and 2011 All-USA track and field selection by USA Today.[4][5] In his senior year, McClain repeated as 100 m and 200 m state champion, by setting Division 3 meet records in both events.[6] He became only the third athlete in the 93 competitions of the CIF State Track and Field Championship meet to win back-to-back titles in the 100 and 200 meters, following Charlie Paddock (1917, 1918) and Randall Carroll (2008, 2009).[7]

Also an American football player, McClain was listed as one of the best wide receivers in Southern California [8] before Covina was knocked out of the CIF playoffs by Whittier Christian High School[9] his senior season. He committed to Azusa Pacific University on November 10, 2010.[10]
