How could QB Grayson McCall wind up at a program like Coastal Carolina?
McCall attended high school in suburban Charlotte, North Carolina. During his high school career, he passed for 3,863 yards with 34 touchdowns and rushed for 3,003 yards and 41 touchdowns. McCall started every game from his sophomore to senior years at a high school which was in the second largest size classification in North Carolina. As a senior he was named conference player-of-the-year after leading his team deep into the playoffs for the second straight year. He was 6-3 and 200 lbs coming out of high school.
He was rated only a two-star recruit and had scholarship offers from Tennessee-Chattanooga, Army, Eastern Kentucky, Gardner Webb and Coastal Carolina. He committed to Coastal Carolina.
At Coastal Carolina he played in only a couple games as a true freshman and then started all the games this season as a redshirt freshman. He won the Sun Belt conference player-of-the-year this season as a redshirt freshman and has been named a semi-finalist for the prestigious Manning Award for best quarterback in the country.
What’s wrong with this picture? How could a kid who had that much offense and that many touchdowns in high school wind up as a two-star recruit and “undiscovered”?
