67 days to WCU Football Kickoff - Greg McGruder








Welcome to the twelfth annual Catamount Football "100 days to WCU Football Kickoff Countdown"

It's now 67 days until the kickoff of Catamount football on Saturday, September 3rd, 2022, against the Charleston Southern Buccaneers, on Buccaneer Field in Charleston, SC

To help pass those long summer days, and hopefully, get the Catamount faithful more excited about the upcoming season, and knowledgeable of the team members, we'll continue the football countdown each day until kickoff day.

No player is currently assigned to #67, so today we'll highlight another assistant coach:

Greg McGruder











TITLE Football Quality Control Coach - Offense














Greg McGruder came to Cullowhee before the 2021 season and was added to the WCU staff as a quality control coach working with the offense. McGruder spent the 2021 season at Tusculum as a graduate assistant aiding with the offense and working primarily with the quarterbacks on the Pioneers' spring 2021 South Atlantic Conference championship squad.

Tusculum averaged 533.4 yards and scored 37.6 points per game on offense in 2021. The Pioneers averaged nearly 400 passing yards per game to lead the SAC, scoring 15 touchdowns through the air in 2021. In addition, the unit added 139.2 yards per game on the ground and 12 additional scores.

McGruder previously served as a student assistant with the Jacksonville football program during the 2015 season. That year, the Dolphins posted a 9-2 record and he helped with an offense that posted 30.5 points per game and generated 400 yards of total offense per contest, led by Bell who was JU's starting signal-caller.

During his prep career at the University Christian High School in Jacksonville, Fla., he was a three-year letterman as a defensive back.

McGruder is a 2016 graduate of the University of North Florida.
