The next biggest jump and blow up in the state’s 2024 class with 12 offers in the month of January is the massive Gray, who has grown into an athletic 300-pounnder who is equally good on both sides of the ball. He’s quick, explosive, powerful and can really run. He could play tight end if he hadn’t outgrown the position with his athleticism. It’s no wonder LSU, Colorado, Tennessee, Iowa, Kentucky, Oregon, Washington, Kansas State, Minnesota, Louisville, Ball State and UNLV have all made the move to try and land the talented lineman who is still getting better.
