Grayson McCall (born December 13, 2000) is an American college football coach and former quarterback who is currently an offensive analyst for the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. He played college football for the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers from 2019 to 2023, serving as the starting quarterback from 2020 until his transfer to NC State.
McCall won the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year in three consecutive seasons from 2020 to 2022 and led NCAA Division I FBS football in average yards gained per attempt and passing efficiency in 2021; he also set the NCAA record for passer rating in 2021 (207.6), a record that would later be broken by LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels in 2023 (208.0). As the starting quarterback, he led Coastal Carolina to several winning seasons, including their first-ever national ranking and bowl victories.
McCall transferred to NC State in 2024 for his final season of eligibility. During the sixth game of the 2024 season against Wake Forest, he suffered a head injury that led him to be stretchered off the field and taken to the hospital. He retired two weeks after the injury, citing concussion issues caused by the injury and previous concussions at Coastal Carolina. After stating his interest in coaching, he returned to Coastal Carolina in 2025 as an offensive analyst.
