Johnny McCrary’s football career has come to an end. The former Commodore quarterback and high school Army All-American has left Mercer, where he transferred after graduating from Vanderbilt this spring.

McCrary was expected to battle for a starting role with the Bears. According to the Macon Telegraph, he’s had a change of plans. Instead, he’ll enroll at Clark Atlanta University, a Historically Black College or University in the heart of Georgia’s capital city. While the Panthers have a football program, McCrary reportedly won’t be a part of it.
