JQ Gray brings homegrown speed and depth-value upside to Southern Miss
JQ Gray is a compact, homegrown running back whose best calling card is proven big-play juice: in high school he was a Pine Belt Sports Offensive MVP with 1,500+ all-purpose yards, 885 rushing yards, a 7.5 yards-per-carry average and 11 touchdowns, but his college production in 2024 was modest (32 carries, 106 yards, no scores), so he profiles more as a depth/backfield-changeup option than an every-down answer right now. His fit depends on whether a team wants an explosive, low-risk runner with a track record of production and return-value potential rather than a proven feature back.[1][2][4][5]
