  McClung is the son of Marcus McClung and Lenoir McClung. During his birth, his umbilical cord was tightly wrapped around his neck; his father recalled, "He was blue as a Smurf." The attending physicians quickly freed him, and he almost immediately recovered. His parents met at Virginia Tech, where Marcus played football and Lenoir was a cheerleader. His father became an attorney, serving as Commonwealth Attorney for Scott County, Virginia as of 2018, while his mother was teaching driver's education at Gate City High. According to a 2018 story in The Washington Post, as well as a story in The Undefeated, his parents' background aided McClung in his athletic pursuits. His father served as trainer for much of his youth, and the family was able to afford placing him on a Richmond -based AAU travel team.
  
  His sister Anna, who completed her high school soccer career as the VHSL's all-time goal scoring leader, played the sport at Florida State and Tennessee, and his uncle Seth competed with two Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. His cousins Correne and Colette both played Division I college hockey and pro hockey; Correne also played with the Canadian national team. Although Houston rapper Riff Raff originally claimed that he is Mac McClung's cousin by way of their mothers being sisters, this has been denied by Mac McClung in an interview.
