McNeese’s Earenest Grayson III brings veteran edge-setting experience to the Cowboys’ front
In the 2024 season, Earenest Grayson III was a 6-foot-3, 264-pound redshirt senior defensive end for McNeese, giving the Cowboys a battle-tested body on the edge with real staying power in the program[2][13]. He’s been a long-time rotational and starting-level presence, and that kind of continuity matters: McNeese and outside previews pointed to him as one of the returning defensive linemen expected to improve the unit, while spring-scrimmage notes showed him getting into the backfield with a half-sack[6][9]. If a team wants a tough, experienced DE who can help stabilize the run front and bring veteran juice, he’s an easy “yes” kind of fit[1][2].
