Jerry McCarty joined the NJCAA National Office in January 2021. McCarty earned a Bachelor’s Degree of Sport Administration in 2019 and recently graduated with a Master’s Degree in Sports Administration, both from the University of Louisville. As an undergraduate, McCarty served as an intern with the Louisville Athletic Sports Information Department. As a graduate student, McCarty was selected as one of two interns in the Sports Information Department to participate in a career building program sponsored by Adidas designed to prepare students for careers in athletic administration and the sports industry.
A native of Kentucky, McCarty enjoys anything related to gaming, Star Wars, and sports. In 2018, McCarty spent the summer walking the 500 mile ancient pilgrimage from St. Jean-Pied-de-Port, France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, an experience that brought a new perspective to his life. McCarty says he is excited for the opportunity to create an impact for student-athletes across the country and work with the NJCAA.
At the NJCAA National Office, McCarty serves as the primary media contact for men's and women's basketball, men's and women's bowling, men's and women's cross country and half marathon, men's and women's soccer, and men's and women's tennis.
