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.
