UVA-Wise CB/FS Makai McCall commits to North Carolina Central

McCall is a 6'-5"/200 freshman who signed in the 2020 class at UVA-Wise, an NCAA Division II institution. He played as a senior at Shiloh High School, Snellville, GA. McCall received offers coming out of high school from FBS Ball State, University of Virginia's College at Wise, and Notre Dame College.  McCall has four years of eligibility.  The way that NCCU athletics is developing talent,
