The senior short-stick defensive middie made his presence felt right away against St. Anthony’s with a tough, hard-nosed performance. The High Point commit has everything you’d expect from a top SSDM—good size, real foot speed, and that edge that makes offensive players think twice before dodging his way. Technically, he’s impressive: long, efficient strides that let him match speed in space, fluid hips to flip and run with dodgers, and the upper body strength to deliver cross-checks that reset matchups.

Gray’s football background shows in every possession. He embraces contact, initiates it when necessary, and makes sure opponents feel his presence. One of his signature moments came on St. Anthony’s opening possession—sharp communication through team offense, clean footwork to funnel his man down the alley, and a punishing cross-check that sent the shooter to the turf after forcing a low-percentage attempt. Gray plays the short stick position the way coaches want—disciplined, athletic, and flat-out competitive. He’s steady in team defense, navigates pick play well, takes pride in winning his individual matchups, and brings a physical edge that gives Culver’s defense its bite.
