Academically at Midway, McLamb was a member of the AIG, Beta Club, and CTE Honor Society. In addition, he is an NC Scholar and Academic All-Star. Having earned an overall GPA of 4.4, McLamb received numerous scholarship opportunities before deciding that UMO will be where he will pursue his degree in Business Management.
