49 Days until Catamount Football Kickoff - Greg McGruder














It's now 49 days until the kickoff of Catamount football on Saturday, September 2nd, 2023, against the Arkansas Razorbacks in the War Memorial Stadium, Little Rock, AR.

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

No one is currently assigned to #49, so today we highlight another assistant coach:

Greg McGruder







TITLE Football Quality Control Coach - Offense




Greg McGruder came to Cullowhee before the 2021 season, added to the WCU staff as a quality con-trol 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 av-eraged 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.
