Eric Gray’s coach: Michigan getting an ‘amazing player’

In his 30 years of coaching, Kevin Locastro has coached and faced some great players, but Eric Gray stands out.

Gray, who recently committed to Michigan’s 2019 class and is ranked the No. 1 all-purpose back in the country by 247Sports, was the Gatorade Tennessee State Player of the Year last year and two-time Mr. Football. Gray, from Lausanne Collegiate in Memphis, will try to become the first player in the state to win it three times.

He has 93 career touchdowns and is going for the state record of 132 held by Troy Fleming of Battle Ground Academy in Franklin, Tenn.
