Awesome.
And I really hope we get the offensive line problems fixed sooner rather than later. It would be a shame not seeing Gray play at his best because there is no where to run or is getting hit at the line of scrimmage.

What a great read. I'm an even bigger fan now. Didn't think that was possible.

I'm a fan of James and Mrs. Gray. It all starts with good parenting.

Hi Guys, this is my first post.
Been a lurker for a while and love the work you do!
After reading that article, I was compelled to come forward. That kid is incredibly special in many ways.
Looking forward to seeing him in the burnt orange next year.

I really hope Gray has that "get on my back and let me carry you" personality and attitude that Vince and Colt had, because Texas desperately needs that because of Mack and that person isn't in the program right now.

First and foremost, congratulations to Leah for her courage and determination in her fight with cancer.
I am becoming more impressed with Gray as a young man than I am as an athlete, and we all know what kind of athlete he it. He just seems to be so genuine and grounded. It is clear that Mr. and Mrs. Gray have done an outstanding job raising him and instilling compassion and values.
Kudos all around.

Why turn a great story into a negative?

I think it is too early to write off Ash when it comes to that type of leadership skill. You can't have too many with that quality though, that's for sure.

Great parents. James Gray has been a pleasure to get to know through the last two years.
The family gets "it" IMO.

Great story. It reminded me of when Professor Harry Swinney's son was passing with cancer. The boys at First Methodist Church there in Austin shaved their head to show support. High School folks do some great things. This story was about some great young people supporting each other.

The article was correct, we are very giddy about Gray and Brown in the backfield together.

Great article, also was impressed that they took leadership as juniors when the seniors didn't step up.
Great head on his shoulders and like said before was brought up well by good parents.
Lots of character displayed.

I couldn't be more impressed with Gray. It's rare to have such an impressive athlete as well as person at the same time. Once Gray officially signs and becomes a Longhorn, that'll make two at the RB position including Malcolm Brown.
Some Longhorn fans can choose to focus on the negatives right now during the rebuilding process, but I choose to look forward to how special things will be in the coming years with talents and people like Gray and Brown.
Hook'em J-Gray!
