Gray Peterson brings size, toughness, and depth to Virginia Tech’s backfield
In the 2026 season, Gray Peterson is a 6-foot-3, 222-pound sophomore RB for Virginia Tech who profiles more as a rugged depth piece and special-teams contributor than a headline stat producer. He was a three-time All-District selection at Appomattox County and helped his high school win three district titles and a VHSL state championship, which points to a player with winning habits and dependable physicality. If a team wants a sturdy, blue-collar runner with developmental upside and a workmanlike edge, Peterson is worth a look.
