Gray averaged 4.9 catches and 80.3 yards per game, as well as 16.4 yards per catch. Gray was invited to the prestigious Senior Bowl all-star game and was a first-team All-AAC selection.

    Prior to SMU, Gray was a first-team All-District selection in high school. Moreover, the Dallas native was a state champion in the 100-meter dash and 100-meter relay.

    During his first season at SMU, he caught 33 passes for 448 yards and 4 scores. He even rushed for 2 more touchdowns. Gray chose SMU over competing scholarship offers from TCU, Auburn, Baylor, Florida State, Houston, Mississippi State, and UCF.

    Gray was rated one of the top junior college prospects in the country, catching 54 passes for 877 yards and 8 touchdowns.
