CONWAY, S.C. — One of the greatest players in Coastal Carolina football history is coming home.Â
Â
Former standout signal caller Grayson McCall will return to his alma mater as an offensive analyst under new coordinator Drew Hollingshead, CCU Head Coach Tim Beck announced Monday.
Â
"Thrilled to be able to welcome Grayson McCall back home to Teal Nation," Beck said. "I have spoken before on the immeasurable impact he made here - both on the game and in our community - and we couldn't be more excited that he will start his coaching career at Coastal. I am looking forward to seeing what Drew Hollingshead and Grayson can do while working together to elevate our offense to new heights."
Â
"So fired up to come back home!" McCall said. "I'm very thankful for Coach Beck and Coach Hollingshead for giving me such a great opportunity. Can't wait to light up the scoreboard in Brooks just like old times!!! Chants Up!"

McCall, who transferred to NC State for his final season of eligibility, announced his retirement from playing football in October 2024 after suffering a head injury against Wake Forest.
