Johnathan Gray....

[froghorn4]

.....is good at football. Last night v. Weatherford he carried 15 times for 335 yards and 5td (19, 52, 70, 65, 28). Last week v. Stephenville, 27-220-4td (9, 1, 11, 58). In two games, 42-555-9td. He has incredible vision, speed and patience...far beyond his years. Coupled with Malcolm Brown next year, we will have a great "thunder and lightening" combo. BTW, Aledo v. Lake Travis this Friday night in Aledo.

Wow! Can. Not. Wait!

 

[tamster]

15 carries for 335 yards! that's more than 20 yards/carry. that's just sick.

skc

 

[TexasGolf]

i heard he was at the rice game???

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

If those stats are correct he is averaging 13.2 yds per carry and scores a TD every 4.7 touches. Now that's insane.

 

[tholly]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict those averages will come down considerably

 

[LonghornCatholic]

 

[camarojoe98]

If i remember correct 288 of those yds were in the first half.

 

[l00p]

It's not like he is a secret or a sleeper of some sort. Defenses know it is going to him and he still puts these digits up.

 

[Horn87]

have we taken a look at this kid, or is he a lock for sand aggy??

 

[brntorng]

Has he seen our OL?

 

[PeeJay]

Must say I would like a little more durability out of a player. Maybe something like 25 carries a game.

 

[H-D Rider]

He will be Thunder & Lightening...

He only carried 15 times because they led 44-7 at the half. No need to risk injury with Lake Travis on the schedule this week. He averaged about 20 carries per game last year with his team's average score at 49-12. Never missed a game in 3+ years. His durablity seems to be ok.

 

[majorwhiteapples]

What about his other football skils, protection blocking, receiveing, just curious I have never seen him play.

The Lake Travis game sounds like it might be a good matchup.

Does he want to play in the SEC?

Word is, when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone he had 3 calls waiting from Johnathan Gray.

He really reminds me of Charles. Looking at him down on the field, it's almost the exact same build and speed that Jamaal had at McAllen.

Both put up dominating numbers against decent competition. Jamaal was even hurt for a few games and still owned. They're both shifty, but never to the point of moving backwards (like Ramonce and Desean Hales were in HS). Good vision.

We are set for years.

 

[majorwhiteapples]

I was being sarcastic, after re-reading it, not a good job on my part. Sounds like he can catch the screen pass, any information on his blocking or any other football skills?

Jamaal went to Port Arthur Memorial.

 

[Third Coast]

With Sneezy graduating, it's going to be important to have a capable backup for Malcolm next year.

 

[HornSwoggler]

I thought Sneezy graduated last year. It sure is hard to keep track of all these players and the eligibility.

 

[TXpride]

With all the talk heating up about TCU possibly being the 10th team to the Big 12, would or could that affect Gray's commitment to Texas, since it was between us and them?

 

[jagdilly69]

I noticed on Rivals he's up to #6 overall and the only 5-star RB. Has he always been that high on their lists? I recall him being outside of the top 10 previously.

 

[geezerhorn]

This years on-field performances thus far legitimize any rise in his position on the list.

He will be added to the list of great Longhorns.

 

[hornpharmd]

What are his stats so far this season?

 

[Hook 'Em Danno]

Here are Gray's rushing stats after 4 games according to MaxPreps.

Rushes: 77 Yards: 1037 YPC: 13.47 TDs: 17
