2014 Blanche Ely (Fla.) Terry McCray was one of his teams best defensive prospects and proved his value this past season as he had a terrific senior year.
“This year I had to play a little bit of rusher and linebacker. I had 19 sacks and 110 tackles on the season. The season started off bad we went 1-4 but then finished 5-5 and made it to the second round of the playoffs and lost to Dwyer.”
McCray is now preparing for the next level of his athletic career which is set for the University of Miami, where he is excited to get there.
“I’m very excited; I wish I could’ve went in earlier, but I had to finish a few classes. I’m very excited though.”
The 6’2 195 pound linebacker is set to arrive in Coral Gables during the summer.
With all the commotion surrounding the ‘Canes and what Al Golden was going to do, McCray was relieved to hear he is staying.
“Kind of a relief because he’s a good coach and the scheme he’s got going on, he’s really starting to make all the south Florida players come to Miami. That’s the reason Miami isn’t what they used to be because all the out of state schools were coming in and taking all the kids. I think he’s been a great coach especially through the rough times and the scandals, he kept coaching and the players kept playing.”
The Blanche Ely product has been trying to stay in shape during the offseason by working out with a very high caliber professional football player.
“Yeah I’ve been working out; I’m actually working out with Patrick Peterson and he’s gonna bring a couple linebackers down and their gonna help me work on my game and I’ve been in the weight room too.”
The Miami commit plans to be a rush end linebacker for the Hurricanes and has no plans on redshirting.
“I’m basically going to be playing the Jarvis Jones type linebacker. I think I can use my speed to beat mostly anybody around the edge and I think I can play basic linebacker. I’m going to push to start and play my freshman year.”
McCray has been speaking with other Miami commits in his class and is excited to work with them next season.
“I talk to Brandon Powell from Deerfield, sometime I talk to Nigel Bethel and Chad Thomas. Just our class we have coming in and how we think it’s gonna be one of the best classes in a long time. We think we can bring a championship back to Miami.”
