Ball-hawking Appalachian State DB with proven playmaking pedigree
Demetrius McCray is a former Appalachian State standout whose calling card was range and ball skills — he earned All-America recognition in 2012 and tied for the Southern Conference lead with four interceptions that season. He was viewed as a classic opportunistic defender: active in coverage, willing to attack the football, and competitive enough to draw NFL interest, which helped make him a 2013 seventh-round draft pick. For a team valuing instinct, aggressiveness, and turnover creation, he fit the mold of a playmaker with real pop.
