The Thomson High School senior wingback signed a scholarship to play for the Cumberland University Bulldogs last week.
"I guess it's a great day," he said, following the signing ceremony in the school library. "I'm excited to get the chance to further my education and play the sport that I love."
Cumberland Head Coach Dewayne Alexander said he was impressed with McCord's play on the field and with his reputation among teachers and coaches.
"He's a quality young man - self disciplined and hard working," he said.
Cumberland runs a Wing-T offense variant, and Coach Alexander said McCord could fit in almost anywhere in the backfield.
"He certainly gives us a lot of options," he said.
