Blake McCall, who has recently joined the coaching staff at Jacksonville State as the Gamecocks' Strength and Conditioning Coach. McCall comes to Jacksonville State from LSU, where he was an assistant strength and conditioning coach, working with the football, beach volleyball, and swimming and diving programs. He joined the LSU strength and conditioning staff in 2019 and helped the Tigers to a perfect 15-0 record, a Southeastern Conference title, and the National Championship. McCall played offensive line for one season at Jackson State University before transferring to West Florida, where he finished his career with the Argonauts. In 2017, McCall led the Argonauts to the NCAA Div. II National Championship Game and a No. 2 National ranking in just the second season for the upstart program. A native of Century, Fla., McCall played at Northview High School and received his bachelor's degree in physical education from UWF in 2017. The podcast will likely cover McCall's journey to becoming a strength and conditioning coach and his experiences working with LSU's successful programs.
