Jay-Jay McCargo On Being Ready & What He Learned From His Debut

Posted Sep 16, 2017
Next man up is a term often used in college football, especially along the offensive line where seemingly more attrition occurs than within any other position group. Jay-Jay McCargo got that call last week, and he made the most of it. The 6-3, 295-pound center graded out well after replacing starting center Cam Dillard, who was injured and left the game for good in the third quarter. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
