McCown spent his final collegiate season at Sam Houston State University in 2001 after playing three seasons for SMU from 1998-2000. During his season with the Bearkats, McCown set single-season school records in completions (259), passing yards (3,481) and touchdowns (32) and was named Southland Football League Player of the Year.
A native of Jacksonville, Texas, McCown also coached at Myers Park High School in Charlotte, N.C., during the 2019 season while he was a member of the Eagles' active roster.
