THE REAL DEAL.
Grayson McCall is 28-5 overall as a starter the last three years.
In 35 games, he has completed 70.6 percent of his passes for 8,068 yards and thrown 78 touchdowns passes. He has thrown two touchdowns or more in 25 games in his CCU career and set a new CCU record with at least one touchdown pass in 24-straight games.
His 78 passing touchdowns are a Coastal Carolina program record, while his 186.82 career passing efficiency rating is first all-time among active leaders in NCAA FBS.
McCall set a new NCAA Division I FBS record in passing efficiency rating at 207.6 last season in 2021, eclipsing the previous two records set by Alabama’s Mac Jones (203.1) in 2020 and LSU’s Joe Burrow (202.0) in 2019.
WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER.
As a starter the last two-plus seasons, McCall is 28-5 overall.
Over the last three years, Coastal was …
The ONLY team in all of FBS to start each of the last three years at 6-0.

One of just six teams in all of FBS to post back-to-back double-digit win seasons in the last two years (2020 and 2021).
One of just 10 teams in all of FBS to total 20-plus wins over the last two years (2020 and 2021).
31-7 (11-1 in 2020; 11-2 in 2021; and 9-4 in 2022), which marks the fourth-best record in all of FBS football over that time behind only Alabama (37-4), Georgia (36-3), and Cincinnati (31-6).
