falcolnfanatic Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 http://www.tigersportsworld.com/showthread.php?1085-Top-10-Running-backs-for-20147.Darion Gray 5-10 165 Hargrave HS, (Huffman, TX)"Gray is the consummate scat back, this jitter bug has great speed, and cut-back ability. Gray is considered one of the premiere backs in Texas, but because he is small, not considered an all-around running back. He can definitely be a major asset on the next level on third downs. He was the first starting freshman running back in Huffman's school history. He could also move up in our rankings with an outstanding season. He looks like a faster version of Richard Murphy at the same stage of their respective careers".
CMurder75 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 He's a good one. Really has made Huffman's O tick with his pass catching abilities. Never understood why they don't hand the ball off to him more.

Last year he had 155 combined touches between rushing and receiving.
SummerCreek it is! Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 Yep. Stud kid, and very mannerable....

HookEm2013 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 Yeah, I've watched. He's pretty good, I'll google him.

[/quote]Wouldn't say elite, very good yes, but is he getting any D1 looks? If townley ever went down could he take over a ball game by himself? Elite talent is very few and far between, he is very good don't get me wrong but he's not on some others level.

mytwocents-28 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Posted September 3, 2012 That's funny. I can't seem to find him on Rivals. Must be some mistake.

And Rivals never adds players later in the year.

BLUEDOVE3 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Posted September 4, 2012 If Rivals cover football like they do basketball, its likely Rivals will have him listed after ESPN put out their list.
