3 best transfer destinations for Coastal Carolina QB Grayson McCall

Coastal Carolina quarterback Grayson McCall is in the transfer portal and several major programs would benefit greatly from the prolific Sun Belt star.

Last year, Grayson McCall scoffed at the idea of leaving Coastal Carolina. But this year, after head coach Jamey Chadwell opted to leave for Liberty, the door was opened for McCall to begin the next phase of his football career.

McCall entered the transfer portal on Monday. Immediately the speculation began about where he could land. Would he follow Chadwell to Liberty? Would he seek to make his name in the Power 5 after taking the Group of 5 by storm.

Here are the top landing spots for the quarterback:

Grayson McCall could join Hugh Freeze at Auburn

The first thing new Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze needs to do is to figure out his quarterback position.

Freeze inherits freshman starter Robby Ashford, who made the All-SEC Freshman team with 1,613 yards passing, 709 yards rushing and 14 total touchdowns in 2022. He’ll also have former four-star recruit Holden Geriner.

No offense to those two guys, but McCall now looks like an obvious plug-and-play option for the Tigers.

McCall is a proven commodity who can make plays with his legs while also tossing touchdowns. He protects the ball while doing it.

By going to Auburn, McCall would get to work with a noted quarterback guru in Freeze. The head coach got Malik Willis drafted in the third round out of Liberty. McCall would have a huge opportunity to prove his worth in Freeze’s offense in the SEC.
