Grayson McCollum gives Kennesaw State a polished freshman bat with run-producing pop
In the 2026 season, Kennesaw State freshman infielder Grayson McCollum emerged as an immediate contributor, appearing in 35 games with 34 starts and finishing with a .294 average, 35 hits, 21 RBI, 17 runs, and five doubles. He was named to the Conference USA All-Freshman Team, a strong sign that his production matched the eye test: he opened hot, handled big moments, and delivered multi-hit games against quality opponents like Georgia and Missouri State. The appeal is simple—right-handed bat, steady contact skills, and enough run production to matter right away.
