Grayson McCall suffered a frightening injury in Coastal Carolina’s Week 8 contest against the Arkansas State Red Wolves.
In the fourth quarter, with the Chanticleers leading Arkansas State 20-10, McCall took a carry over the middle of the field. He attempted to slide at the end of the play, but took a hard hit to the head in the process of sliding.
After the play, McCall was motionless on the field and was quickly attended to by medical personnel. Around 10 minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took McCall away.
