RALEIGH, NC – NC State quarterback Grayson McCall has his name on yet another preseason watch list after being announced as a nominee for the 2024 College Football Comeback Player of the Year, the College Sports Communicators (CSC), in association with The Associated Press (AP) and the Fiesta Bowl announced on Tuesday.
Since 2018, the Comeback Player of the Year Award has recognized college football student-athletes from all divisions of college football for overcoming injury, illness, or other circumstances.
Last season, for Coastal Carolina, McCall started the Chanticleers' first seven games but sustained a head injury in the fourth quarter against Arkansas State on Oct. 21, 2023.
Before his season was cut short, McCall had thrown for 1919 yards and 10 touchdowns, averaging 238.2 yards per game.
At the conclusion of each season, a panel of college football writers, editors, and sports information directors votes to honor three college football student-athletes as Comeback Player of the Year Award winners at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.
This will be the third preseason watch list McCall has appeared on already this summer, also appearing on the Walter Camp Player of the Year Watch List and the Maxwell Award Watch List.
