Good, I look forward to these 6’5” DEs helping him with his exit.

Wonder if this is because nobody wanted him, or he academically couldn't go to an interested school

Is he staying at Coastal or declaring for the draft?

Supposedly Auburn did want him but he couldn’t transfer credits. The rumor is that he took some classes to stay eligible that don’t transfer. I also heard some say he was upset at Chadwell not getting a P5 and really wanted to follow him but who knows. I do think there is more to this than what Coastal is saying. McCall intended to go to NFL or follow Chadwell and he is not doing either of those. His injuries have hurt his stock. He would probably be a late round pick, if drafted at all.

Florida and Auburn both wanted him bad but he wouldn't be eligible there because of aforementioned classes. It's almost like Chadwell has a history of academic fraud and playing ineligible players...

One has to wonder if the issue was academic progress. If there were classes that didn’t transfer, that could push the number of credit hours towards a degree below an acceptable threshold to make him eligible.

I have no idea what the rules are now, but I believe as long as he's considered a full time student while he's playing and practicing, it doesn't matter if the credit hours are going to a specific degree. If it does matter now, all they have to say is he's considering another major and trying to pick which one so he's taking different classes.

To me, this points to more of a UNC Cheat type scenario. "Oh Grayson, you have a 1.5 GPA. Here, enroll in these 4 classes to get guaranteed As this semester." Not saying they're fake classes like at UNC Cheat, but seems a little odd that two SEC schools that have a history of accepting anybody if they're good at football both said no because of his classes.

Perhaps he just failed in the interview process.

The guy has been in school 4 years and hasn’t graduated. He has a TERRIBLE GPA based on what a CCU fan told me (low 2’s). He either forgot he was a student-athlete or the coaching staff and university greatly failed him. I believe it is the latter considering the history of Chadwell. He doesn’t care about graduating players or playing with integrity - he cares about getting one up on you to advance his career. Sucks for McCall as he really had no other choice other than go pro.

I don't think it's required to declare a major. At least not from the NCAA perspective. I think any person you see that's a 1-3 round pick that either graduated or came very close did that by way of person choice, a coach a program that pushed the importance of education, or family that pushed for them to complete their studies.

Problem for some and I think McCall fell into this trap, the media starts the NFL chatter a year or two before you're even eligible to declare. After that 2020 season where Coastal had the undefeated regular season, and he drew eyes to him with his play, and mullet, he felt he had it in the bag. He probably decided, let me just take these random electives to be full time, and I'm good. Which probably eventually turned into, well I don't even need to go to class or pass these classes because I'll be going pro.

I know he thinks is a round 1-3 prospect but I am not so sure of that. There are legit concerns about his shoulder. I do wonder if he slacked in class thinking he was gone but then the injury happened so plans changed. Could he have heard his stock is not what he expected or just can’t transfer due to grades? It does make you wonder. Something isn’t right. I’m starting to wonder if he would even get drafted due to the medical.

Yup, when they lawyered up and said the NCAA has no jurisdiction on how they run their academics, the wheels fell off.

Keep in mind the number of folks we've lost because of transfer credits. Not a fan of the young man but not sure it's fair to always think the worst of him because he's at Coastal. Lots of aspersions cast here.

The difference is Auburn let's anybody in if they're good at football and can breathe... Also, all reports say it's an academic issue. It's not McCall choosing to not transfer because not enough credits would transfer over. It's he wouldn't be eligible.. at Auburn (and Florida).

But isn’t Coastal the “Harvard of the South?” How come those high quality courses don’t transfer?

Not defending the guy but seems there's a lot supposition here and I doubt anyone knows for sure.
