LJ McCray Highlight Reel Surfaces on Youtube

Harding University High School safety LJ McCray inked with the Catawba football program on National Signing Day in early February.

He was named all-conference during his junior and senior seasons, while being named to the All-Queen City 3A/4A team at running back.

His future, however, will be looked upon at safety. The loss of safeties Tyon Bennett, Mike Benton, and Chris Noel will make McCray a viable option for playing time in 2009.

McCray, 6'1 185, took a late visit to Appalachian State shortly before making Catawba his destination to play college football. He was also invited to play in the new Down Under Bowl.

As a rusher, McCray recorded 44 carries for 198 yards and six touchdowns, while hauling in 19 catches for 339 yards and a pair of scores.

His services in their secondary included 70 tackles and three interceptions during his final season for Harding.

McCray returned three kick-offs for touchdowns during his final prep season, while accumulating five total touchdowns in return situations throughout his career.

His official highlight tape has surfaced on Youtube and is available for Catawba fans to take a sneak peak at the college's future options in the secondary.
