Every once in a while, a player arrives who doesn’t just contribute—he changes the trajectory of a program. For Scotland County, that player is Mike McLean Mike McLean 5'9" | 170 lbs | RB/DB Scotland | 2029 State NC , the freshman phenom already holding a UNC offer and already playing beyond his years. Tonight, he steps onto a playoff stage with a chance to run his way straight into Fighting Scots folklore.

With Scotland losing their starting running back late in the season, the responsibility of carrying the offense now falls directly on the shoulders of the super-freshman. And if there’s anyone built for that moment, it’s Mike Mike. His footwork, burst, balance, and natural instinct make him one of the most electrifying young backs in the state—someone who can flip a game with a single crease or turn a routine handoff into a momentum-swinging sprint.

This is the type of night where legends are born.
This is the type of moment where new eras begin.

If McLean delivers—as he’s shown he’s fully capable of—Scotland County’s playoff run could take on an entirely new energy. Tonight is not just another game for him. It’s the perfect platform to showcase what the next three seasons are going to look like in the 910: a rising superstar, a new offensive identity, and the origin story of the next great Fighting Scots playmaker.

The new era starts now.
