This included a performance against Jackson State in which Gray posted a season-high 195 rushing yards scoring all three of his season’s rushing touchdowns.

This past season was the first time the Hornets’ back did not take the majority of the handoffs for the team, but he was far from unproductive. He finished the year with 714 all-purpose yards scoring four total touchdowns (two rushing and two receiving).

McClain transferred to Southern in 2020 after spending his first three collegiate seasons at Auburn.

This past season, McClain recorded 28 receptions for 400 yards getting in the end zone four times adding a rushing touchdown to his totals.

The Jaguars receiver had a big performance in the HBCU Legacy Bowl recording seven receptions for 84 yards.

He also had an impressive Pro Day with a 4.59 in the 40, a 39″ vertical and a 10’0″ broad jump.
