David McCarty (born November 19, 1987) is an American former college football player who was a running back. A native of Gansevoort, New York, he attended the LaSalle Institute in Troy, New York, before enrolling at the University of Albany. He played football for the Division I Albany Great Danes from 2007 to 2009. While playing for Albany, he was the second leading rusher in the nation with 1,852 yards. He also set all-time school records for rushing yards (3,353), all-purpose running yards (3,979), and 100-yard rushing games (19).[1] He also scored at least one touchdown in 20 consecutive games and ranks third in Albany school history in career touchdowns (32) and scoring (192 points). In April 2010, McCarty attended the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' rookie minicamp. However, he was not allowed to participate after an EKG test administered by the Buccaneers showed he had an irregular heartbeat.[2]
