As Hope also reports, it looks like McCall is also going to get some reps during OSU’s Week 1 matchup against Minnesota on Thursday.
McCall will be a 6th year senior this season after first joining the program in 2016. His best season as a running back came during that year as a freshman when he finished with 270 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also had 84 yards receiving for the season and a touchdown to go with it.
For his career, McCall finished with 565 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns, plus 300 yards receiving.
It’s not known if he’ll be in the slot or outside on Thursday night but he’ll be making his debut there at 8:00 p.m. ET.
