Mark McCray, Jr. '24 Recruiting Profile

My Collegiate goals are to win championships for my division and mature at the highest level possible. My aspirations are to learn ways of the business class, such as real estate, clothing design, and professional computer editing. What makes me a good candidate for your team is that I’m very coachable, committed, and have loved the game of football every since I was a toddler.  I, myself, chose the game of football at the age of 4 instead of it being given to me as an extracurricular activity.  During my very first little league game I ran a 50yd touchdown for the Shreveport Titans, and have desired to play and win at football every since. 

What makes me different from other recruits in character is that I’m a player that‘s willing to get better on the field and off the field. I am different athletically because of my intellect for the game on the sideline, my speed and vision on the field, and I possess a second hand nature for the game overall.  Being the son of a coach who built my first little league team around my running ability, I speak and understand the game unlike many, but yet remain a humble leader to enjoy and form a winning team.  Academically, I love history, and desire a greater understanding of the world around us in order to share and celebrate our various cultures.
