Devin Gray Season 2017

2016: Tabbed as UC’s Newcomer of the Year. Burst onto the UC scene in 2016, becoming the first UC wideout in 129 years to tally 100 or more receiving yards in his Bearcats debut. He hauled in a team-high 58 receptions for 860 yards and five TDs, averaging 14.8 yards per catch. Gray led the squad in receiving in five games, breaking the 100-yard mark on three occasions. He opened the year with five catches for 111 yards against UT Martin, tallied seven receptions for 105 yards against BYU and closed out the campaign with a career best 143 yards receiving on five catches at Tulsa. Gray found the end zone five times, twice in the first half at Temple, setting a career mark. The 82-yard TD ball from QB Hayden Moore to Gray at Tulsa was UC’s longest play from scrimmage in 2016.
