His passion for the game and his talent on the field caught the eye of many recruiters at the next level. McCurdy loves being around his teammates and playing with the same guys he grew up with as a youth player.
“I love how we have played with and known each other our whole lives and it helps us play as one instead of nine individuals,” said McCurdy.
He is keeping in touch with the guys via social media, and has enjoyed a group chat with coaches from the University of Oklahoma.
As a student-athlete at Buhler, McCurdy said his favorite subject was English, but his favorite teacher is also a cocah.
“I would say English is my favorite, my favorite teacher, which was also my football coach is Mr. Warner, he is the kind of teacher/friend all schools should have,” said McCurdy.
His favorite team is the Kansas City Royals and his favorite player is Mike Trout. When he’s not playing baseball McCurdy enjoys riding his dirtbike and hanging out with his friends. What made being a student-athlete so special for McCurdy?
“Probably all the patches on my letter jacket, it gets a lot of attention.”
