McGaw was born on December 27, 1899, in Rockford, Illinois, where he attended Rockford Central High School.[1] After high school, he attended Beloit College, where he played college football as an offensive lineman.[2] He was named captain of the football team and was named to the second-team All-State team.[3][4] He also played and was named captain of the Beloit basketball team.[5]

McGaw signed with the Green Bay Packers during the 1926 NFL season, where he only played in one game.[1] At the time of his signing, The Post-Crescent described McGaw as "a big rangy guard tipping the beam at a 195 pounder [sic]".[3]
