University career
MacKellar first attended Rice University in 2017 and had a redshirt season while a member of the Rice Owls.[1] Following a coaching change, MacKellar sought a transfer and moved back to Nova Scotia to become a member of the St. Francis Xavier X-Men in time for the 2018 season.[2] In his first season, the X-Men were Loney Bowl champions after defeating the Saint Mary's Huskies.[3] He did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 U Sports football season. In his fourth and final year, in 2021, he was named a U Sports Second Team All-Canadian and again won the Loney Bowl in a victory over the Bishop's Gaiters.[3]

MacKellar was ranked as the 19th best player in the Canadian Football League's Amateur Scouting Bureau final rankings for players eligible in the 2022 CFL Draft.[4] He was then drafted in the first round, sixth overall, in the draft by the Toronto Argonauts.[5] He then signed with the team on May 10, 2022.[5] Following training camp, he was placed on the injured list, but soon after played in his first career professional game on July 4, 2022, against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[3] His first game played outside of Toronto's BMO Field was in Wolfville, Nova Scotia as part of Touchdown Atlantic where he dressed as a backup offensive lineman in his home province.[6][7] He played in 16 regular season games in 2022 and started in 12 of them.[8]
In the 2023 season, MacKellar played in all 18 regular season games, starting in one.[8]
