RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — NC State quarterback Grayson McCall left Saturday’s game against Louisiana Tech with an injury in the second quarter and it was announced he would be sidelined for the rest of the day.

Louisiana Tech was leading 7-6 shortly before halftime when the announcement came about McCall’s status, though the nature of the injury wasn’t revealed. He was 9-for-13 for 54 passing yards and posted a team-high 22 rushing yards at the time of his exit.

McCall was considered one of the country’s top pick-ups in the transfer portal during the last offseason after playing parts of five seasons for Coastal Carolina.

True freshman CJ Bailey from Miami replaced McCall.
