DURHAM, N.C. -- Former Duke football letterman and assistant coach Jerry McGee will be part of the inaugural 12-member class to be inducted into the National Interscholastic Administrators Association Hall of Fame. The enshrinement is scheduled for December 15 in Grapevine, Texas.
McGee, who currently serves as the executive director of the N.C. Athletic Directors Association, is already a member of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame as well as the National High School Hall of Fame.
Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Elizabeth City, N.C., McGee lettered three seasons on the gridiron at Duke from 1958-60 and was a member of the Blue Devils' squad that defeated Arkansas, 7-6, in the Cotton Bowl on January 1, 1961. Following his graduation from Duke in 1961, he entered prep coaching and led Edenton Holmes High School to a pair of North Carolina state championships. McGee then coached in the college ranks, serving stints at Kansas State, Southern Illinois, East Carolina and Duke.
