April 13, 2013: Freshman quarterback Johnny McCrary (2) talks to Coach Franklin after a series during the annual Black and Gold spring game. The Black team defeated the Gold team 17-15.
The next question becomes “Where?”
McCrary will be eligible to play immediately as a graduate transfer and should have a pick of several intriguing schools. He could follow in the footsteps of former teammates Josh Grady (Florida) and Stephen Rivers (Northwestern State) and choose a big-time school to be a backup, or a smaller school with a greater chance to start, respectively.
Despite his up-and-down performance throughout his 12 starts over two seasons, there’s no denying McCrary’s present skill set.
