'19 TN RB Eric Gray

[VolsVFL]

Bet he'll resemble Travis Stephens in pads.

Travis was only about 170-175Lbs senior year. But he had unbelievable power and speed in high school, he's the best running back I played against and watched play in high school.

Hoo boy, don't tell me you had to try and tackle him while playing against him. If you did, I'm sorry.

His power was so deceptive. At his size, who would have ever thought he could be so powerful. He always reminded me of Tony Thompson, who was just a freak of nature.

Eric Gray
5’9” 200lb with Power, Speed, & Vision

Yea, we can use that.

Shouldn’t be hard to get him to about 215-220 before the season either

 

[Pepe]

Future Jerome Bettis/Barry Sanders hybrid, IMO.

That would be called Earl Campbell

 

[DarkAvenger]

Shouldn’t be hard to get him to about 215-220 before the season either

I honestly would say at 5’9 that 210-215 is probably the heaviest he will get without losing his athleticism. If he can get to 220 and not lose a step or lose some agility then the kid will be a generational talent.. which I would love.

 

[AaronUT]

To be 200 pounds with that speed and shiftiness, look out.

Maurice Jones Drew was like 5'8" 205-210.
Yes please

 

[fifties fan]

The aTm back that led the SEC in rushing is listed in the 5'9" 200 range and he's a load

I want another travis henry in my lifetime. At least one of his brood should fit the bill.

Today’s RBs won’t run like the cheese but he’ll be great. Could be our bell cow by SEC play. I really really like Chandler and Gray in our backfield. Two homerun capable backs.

Then run out the clock by punching them in the gut with Tim Jordan.

How’s Gray looking? @Bassmaster_Vol

All that has been said is that he scored a TD earlier.

Lol... that's what he does!

TN TD record holder... but that record will probably get broken next year cause we miss on in-state quality players.

 

[Pepe]

Well it looks like he has the ability to run where they ain't. The concept that seems at times to be hard for Vol ball-carriers to understand.

Problem is, with our line play.. There isn't a "where the ain't" option.

I'm not so sure of that.

As for Eric Gray, Tennessee’s tailback signee was solid in his first day. Gray was taking reps behind 5-star Alabama signee Trey Sanders during team drills. The 5-foot-11, 197-pound Memphis native showcased his skills during various routes drills, both on air and against defenses. After practice, Gray told VolQuest that Tennessee really wants to get him involved in the passing game in 2019. Gray will finish up the All-American Bowl on Jan. 5 and fly straight to Knoxville the next day. His parents will then bring his stuff Monday. He plans to wear No. 1 in the future, but like Ty Chandler, will likely have No. 3 as a freshman. Gray is set to room with EE’s Ramel Keyton and Wanya Morris.

His name would be Devin Crosby out of North Gwinnett

 

[Wolfeman_Vol]

I'm not so sure of that.

So, despite watching all last season, then seeing how awful that unit graded out post season.. You wanna say the line wasn't the problem? Ok, Pepe. Pepe, ok. I think you're wanting to lay some blame in the wrong place, but to each his own.

 

[AngryButchJones]

I'm not so sure of that.

Did you watch any of this last season? There weren't many holes for Chandler and Jordan to run through. At all.
