Grayson McCall News, Rumors, Updates - North Carolina State Wolfpack

Suffers injury in first quarter McCall sustained an injury in the first quarter of Saturday's game against Wake Forest and had to be carted off the field, R. Cory Smith of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact McCall was down on the ground and not moving in what looked like a scary injury for the fifth-year senior who was just making his return from a two-game absence. It's safe to say McCall will not return Saturday and has been replaced by CJ Bailey.

In line to start McCall (undisclosed) is expected to start Saturday against Wake Forest, The Wolfpacker reports.

Impact McCall was seen warming up and now is expected to start after missing the last two games. CJ Bailey will return to backup duties. McCall threw for 476 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions before getting hurt.

Spotted going through warmups McCall (undisclosed) was spotted going through pre-game warm-ups, On3.com reports.

Impact McCall hasn't played since Week 3, with true freshman CJ Bailey taking the reins for the Wolfpack in his stead. It's unclear what McCall's status is, as he also warmed up last week before ultimately not playing. If McCall can't go, expect Bailey to notch his third straight start.

Off Week 6 depth chart McCall (undisclosed) is not on the depth chart for Saturday's game versus Wake Forest, Bryan Pyrtle of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Backup quarterback CJ Bailey has been announced as the starter for the game as well, making it very unlikely that McCall will suit up. The senior play caller has not seen the field since Week 3 against Louisiana Tech, where he suffered an undisclosed injury.

OCTOBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday McCall (undisclosed) won't play in Week 5 against Northern Illinois on Saturday, Nick Schultz of On3.com reports.

Impact McCall got hurt in the Week 3 contest against Louisiana Tech and missed the rest of that contest, but he also sat out the Week 4 matchup against Clemson. Things aren't improving for the signal-caller, and now the earliest he might return will be a Week 6 contest against Wake Forest. Expect CJ Bailey to make another start with McCall out.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not dressed as expected McCall (undisclosed) is not dressed and is not active for Saturday's game at Clemson, Chapel Fowler of The Columbia State reports.

Impact Unsurprisingly, McCall is not in his uniform ahead of Saturday's game and will not play. CJ Bailey will make the start for the Wolfpack. McCall's next chance to play is next Saturday versus Northern Illinois.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not warming up Saturday McCall (undisclosed) is not warming up with his fellow quarterbacks ahead of Saturday's game at Clemson, The Wolfpacker reports.

Impact McCall made the trip to Death Valley but is not warming up as expected. CJ Bailey was already named the starting quarterback for the game, and indication that the Wolfpack do not expect McCall to be able to play. While he has not been ruled out, it's very unlikely that he suits up.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start against Clemson McCall (undisclosed) will not start Saturday's game against Clemson, Inside Pack Sports reports.

Impact CJ Bailey will be NC State's starting quarterback Saturday. The fact that McCall won't start suggests he's less than 100 percent and makes it seem unlikely he will take the field in anything other than an emergency situation, but he hasn't officially been ruled out for the contest at this juncture.

Plays off bench despite injury McCall (undisclosed) was 9-for-13 passing for 54 yards during Saturday's 30-20 win against Louisiana Tech. He also had four rushes for 22 yards.

Impact McCall came in off the bench for North Carolina State and offered 54 yards through the air. Though CJ Bailey was the starter, he didn't perform all that well and McCall was utilized as well. He was clearly healthy enough to see the field, and given Bailey's underwhelming performance against a lesser team, the Wolfpack should aim to return McCall to his starting role as soon as possible.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Status day-to-day McCall (undisclosed) is day-to-day, Chapel Fowler of The Columbia State reports.

Impact North Carolina State's football program will monitor McCall daily to get updates about his injury. Fortunately for the program, it got "good news" on McCall, though that news may not be enough for him to be 100 percent before the Wolfpack are at Clemson on Saturday. If he is out then, CJ Bailey will be their starting quarterback until further notice.

Out for game McCall (undisclosed) is out for the rest of Saturday's game versus Louisiana Tech, Noah Fleischman of On3 reports.

Impact McCall sustained an undisclosed injury during the second quarter of Saturday's game and will miss the rest of the game. Before exiting, he had completed nine of 13 passes for 54 yards and rushed four times for 22 yards. CJ Bailey will run the Wolfpack offense for the rest of the contest.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ineffective in loss McCall was 15-for-22 passing for 104 yards and one interception during Saturday's 51-10 loss against Tennessee. He also had nine rushes for six yards.

Impact McCall was unable to find any kind of rhythm against Tennessee, much like the rest of the Wolfpack offense. After tossing for three touchdowns in the opener against FCS Western Carolina, the quarterback once again completed a good percentage of his passes (68.2) but threw another interceptions and couldn't orchestrate a touchdown through the air or ground. He'll look to bounce back in NC State's penultimate out-of-conference game against Louisiana Tech.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unsurprisingly starting QB McCall will be the Wolfpack's starting quarterback Thursday against Western Carolina, according to their depth chart.

Impact McCall being the Wolfpack's starting quarterback Thursday should be no surprise, considering he was who they set their sights on early as a proven replacement for graduate Brennan Armstrong. The successor was Coastal Carolina's primary QB for four years. From 2020 to 2022, he logged at least 2,500 passing yards and 30 touchdowns. So even though a head injury limited him his 2023 season, the Wolfpack are confident McCall's experience will help them succeed during 2024.
