He graduated in 1974 and was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame in 2000.[1] The Dallas Tornado of the North American Soccer League drafted McKenzie in 1974. He spent two seasons in Texas before moving to the Tacoma Tides for the start of the 1976 American Soccer League season. He was traded to the Los Angeles Skyhawks mid way during the season, and helped L.A. win the ASL title. He retired in 1978.

He currently lives in Jamaica where he co-owns a rum distillery with fellow footballer Desmond Munroe.
