Baray-Gress is a name on the rise as he prepares to take on a larger role along the defensive line. He’s a disruptive presence who excels at shedding blocks and making plays in the backfield or at the line of scrimmage. Baray-Gress has quick hands and plays with intensity, often knifing through gaps to throw off the offense’s rhythm. He has a high motor and his ability to pursue ball carriers in space makes him a versatile defensive asset. If he continues to build on his development and gets consistent snaps, expect him to become a force this fall.

A true two-way presence, Baray-Gress is a physical lineman who dominates in the trenches. Offensively, he uses his arm length and upper body strength to neutralize pass rushers, while also flashing burst off the ball to generate movement in the run game. His ability to play multiple positions across the line adds depth and flexibility to this unit. As a standout on both sides of the ball, Baray-Gress is a name to circle, especially in 2A football where his impact could be significant.
