Following the trail recently cut by Everett Golson of Myrtle Beach, (Notre Dame, Florida State), Justin Worley (Tennessee), Mason Rudolph (Oklahoma State) and Jacob Park (Georgia), Dillon’s Avery McCall is destined to be the next Shrine Bowl quarterback from the state to play his college football outside of South Carolina.

Clemson and USC have quarterbacks committed for 2016, and McCall said neither is showing any interest in him now. He passed for 2,945 yards and 36 touchdowns last season, completing 71 percent of his passes with two interceptions. McCall has 5,502 career passing yards entering his senior season as he goes for a fourth-straight state championship.

And the state championship game, if he makes it, won’t be his final high school game. That will come in January in San Antonio when he plays in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

So where might McCall continue his career after Dillon?

“Oregon State,” McCall said last week. “They came to the school to see me throw. Their offense has been something I’ve been running since I’ve been in high school.”

McCall said he's also looking at North Carolina, NC State, East Carolina, Appalachian State and Florida State. McCall did not visit any schools in the spring but this summer he hopes to get to Appalachian State, North Carolina, NC State and possibly Florida State.

McCall, considered a three-star prospect, said he doesn’t have a favorite and wants to make his decision right before his season or early in the season.
