Coastal Carolina transfer quarterback Grayson McCall spoke to the media for the first time since transferring to State for his final season of college football. McCall spoke about his decision, what he learned from his time at CCU and what excites him about the offense

It's been very smooth. Um It's been everything I'd hoped for. Um the coaching staff here, the fans, um the teammates have welcomed me with open arms. So uh everything's been really smooth. Um Definitely a challenging transition but um very excited about the decision I made and uh really happy to be here in Raleigh. Yeah, just um you know, going to a new place first and foremost and um being around a team, uh not knowing a lot of guys, but um everyone here has, has really been super helpful and um showing me around, um you know, teaching me how they do things here and um getting to know all the guys. So it, it's been really good so far, a lot of places. Was it more for you wanting to stay closer to home or, or the fact that the program is, is on the up rise as well? Yeah, you know, location wasn't necessarily a huge factor for me. It's uh you know, my decision to come here is, you know, um the fact that that coach Doran's built such a successful program here over the years and um the fact that that he's been consistent in what he's done in the 11 years here. And um just whenever I was able to come on campus and see this place and um you know, understand the family identity that they built here and um the guys that are here and, and the success that they've had, it really interested me to come here and, um you know, knowing the interest that they had for me and, and how much they really wanted me here was, was really exciting and, um, you know, really blessed to be here, kind of a dream come true for me and just happens to be that I'm, you know, two hours down the road from home. So it's, it's, it's very cool. What excites you about? Yeah, it's, uh it's very unique. Um, you know, an offense I can definitely see myself thriving in. Um and then when you, when you see the guys around me and the guys up front, it, it's really exciting. Um I think we have a special chance to, to do really good things on offense this year. And um I think that um we're go, we're gonna be able to throw the ball down the field and have a very strong attack in the air, but at the same time, establish a, a strong run game with um, the backs that we have the backs we brought in and, and the guys up front in the sun playing at Coast of Carolina, specifically, there's a, it's a big transition as well, just like program wise. Um, you know, what do you think, everything you went through there you learn the most that'll help you at this moment. Yeah. You know, all the, all the, the tough years, um, all the, you know, the adversity, the trials and tribulations that I was put through, um, in my career at coastal, you know, I feel like prepared me and molded me, um for this upcoming year. And um you know, mentally, I, I think I'm in the best space I've been in and um you know, finally have a good understanding of, of taking care of my body and doing the little things that, you know, will put me over the top and um give me the extra step on some of these other guys. So, um you know, I have all the resources, everything I need here to, to be the best possible player I can be. So uh really excited about it that you, oh yeah, they're impressive. Um For sure, I've been able to get out on the field with them um over the past couple of weeks and uh a lot of talent here for sure. And um you know, some of the older guys that are leading the charge and, and then you see the these new guys that we got in from the portal um really exciting. So it's just our job to do the little things continuing to put in the work, um, get on the same page, uh, develop that chemistry and, um, it's, it's really exciting for me for sure. Do you have any conversations with coach? For sure. Um It, it was definitely, it was definitely cool. Um, coach back had nothing but good things to say about this place and, um, you know, e every question I had he was able to answer for me and, um, you know, they're obviously really excited that I'm here and, um, it's pretty cool that, that obviously he came from here and he's at coastal now. And, um, but yeah, they're fired up about me being here and, and they had nothing but good things to say about this place. That's what you guys are shooting for that. Yeah, I know. It's talk like that doesn't often happen. Yeah, it's, um, you know, we have a real chance at it. It's, it's very realistic if we, if we take care of business and handle, you know, um, what we need to do, we're, we're gonna be up there. And, um, that's kind of been our motto throughout this, this winter training and, and into the summer is the number 12. Um, obviously you have, you have 12 games and, and you have a 12 team playoff. So, um, we're very excited about it. We know that we have to show up every day and put in the work to be able to get to that point. But, um, very realistic opportunity and, and something that we're really excited, uh, looking forward to it. Yeah, you know, I, I think I'm, I'm still out to prove something, you know, a lot of people, um, four years ago didn't think I could play at this level. Um, and I think I've kind of proven that but I, I still, um, kind of searching for respect and showing these people what kind of player I am, um showing my teammates here and these coaches, what type of leader I am and uh what, what, what, what kind of guy I am off the field. Um, but yeah, I think it's, um it's, my attitude is really similar to a lot of these guys here. Um, you know, the past couple of years they've been one or two games away from getting over the hump and, um I think we're all here to, to prove something and, um, you know, this is the year to do. I got one last shot at this thing. So, um very blessed to be here really excited about this opportunity and I, I can't wait to go.

I'm meteorologist, Amy Wilmoth in the WRL severe weather center. We have some pretty nice weather as we wrap up the weekend. It's going to be gray today but only a 20% chance for rain. So a drier finish to the weekend compared to what we went through yesterday with numerous showers and storms. The cold front that brought us the rain is now moving offshore. Just a slim chance for showers today. It's about a 20% chance and then we don't expect any rain Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. But notice how rain chances go up by the end of the week. A 20% chance Thursday, a 30% chance Friday and then a 40% chance for scattered showers and storms on Saturday. So Memorial Day weekend, we could be dodging some showers and storms, keep checking back in and we'll have a better idea of the timeline for rain and storms over the holiday weekend. Probably around the middle of the week or so today. We'll have mainly cloudy skies. A high of 74 in Raleigh and Durham and Fayetteville, 74 in Clinton, 73 for the high temperature in Rocky Mount. So pretty comfortable temperatures today, dinner outside around seven o'clock, probably a good thing. It's only gonna be a 20% chance for rain at that point with temperatures in the low seventies. So it will certainly feel very comfortable overnight. Tonight, we are going to have the potential for some areas of fog to develop. Temperatures will get down into the middle to upper fifties. So a little bit of a foggy start on Monday morning. But then sunshine in the afternoon, temperatures will warm Monday afternoon up to around 79 for the high and then low eighties. Tuesday will get up to 87 Wednesday and 90 for the high by Thursday. So definitely getting hotter as we get into the second half of the week, which is pretty normal this time of year, especially leading up to the Memorial Day weekend, morning, lows will be mild as well pretty near normal for the next few mornings. But then mid to upper sixties for lows by Thursday and Friday, I mentioned the chance for some rain over the holiday weekend might have an isolated shower Thursday, but then scattered showers will be possible on Friday. Maybe an isolated storm Saturday into Sunday. We have the potential for a couple of showers and storms as well. It's not going to rain all weekend, but we certainly have that chance for rain again. Keep checking back in and we'll have a better idea of the timeline as we get a little bit closer to it. Things are going to stay quiet for the next several days. But the big story this week will be the heat getting up to around 90 by Thursday and then storms return as we head into Friday.
