Drew McKenna's tenure at Georgetown was in stark contrast to his potential when he was the top ranked junior in the state of Maryland.

McKenna opted to forego his senior season at Glenelg Country School to attend Georgetown, but did not complete his high school requirements in order to enter college in the fall of 2023. He arrived as a greenshirt that spring, but saw no action that season.

McKenna's sophomore season mirrored that of a promising greenshirt from a decade earlier, Stephen Domingo (2012-14), who shot just 3 for 27 from three point range and transferred following his sophomore season. In 2024-25, McKenna averaged just 1.8 points in 20 games, with his only start coming in the injury depleted Crown games. His three point shooting of 1 for 16 limited his on-court time, with an 0 for 13 statistic since the Notre Dame game in early November, and was not effective enough on defense to garner significant playing time, averaging just seven minutes per game. A nine point, six rebound game versus Washington State was a career high.

Drew McKenna announced a transfer at the conclusion of the 2024-25 season.
