Grayson McCall suffers head injury during NC State game against Wake Forest

North Carolina State University quarterback Grayson McCall, 23, suffered a serious head injury during a game against Wake Forest on October 5. He was tackled while running with the ball and appeared to struggle to get up after the hit. McCall was taken off the field on a stretcher but was seen briefly moving his arm and hugging his parents. His current condition has not been updated, and he has a history of head injuries, including concussions. McCall transferred to NC State in December 2023 after a nearly career-ending injury earlier that year. He previously expressed the importance of considering life beyond football, despite his passion for the game.
