North Carolina State quarterback left Saturday’s home game against Louisiana Tech in the second quarter due to an undisclosed injury and was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game. McCall was struck by Louisiana Tech linebacker Zach Zimos during a blitz with just over 5 1/2 minutes remaining in the second quarter and appeared slow to recover. After the incompletion on third down, he walked off the field and soon went to the locker room with team trainers.
Grayson McCall, who has a history of concussions including a season-ending one last year while at Coastal Carolina, exited Saturday’s game against Louisiana Tech with an undisclosed injury. McCall was taken off the field by ambulance and hospitalized after a similar injury on October 21 at Arkansas State. On Saturday, he had completed 9 of 13 passes for 54 yards and rushed four times for 22 yards before leaving. Freshman C.J. Bailey took over as quarterback following McCall’s departure. Shortly after, Kanoah Vinesett made a 35-yard field goal, putting NC State ahead 6-0. However, Louisiana Tech scored 17 unanswered points in the final 2:41 of the quarter, leading 17-6 at halftime.
NC State narrowed the gap to 17-13 when DK Kaufman returned an interception 33 yards for a touchdown with 14:03 remaining in the third quarter. McCall, who was a three-time Sun Belt Player of the Year during his four seasons at Coastal Carolina, transferred to the Wolfpack after last season.
