Wide Receiver Donald Gray

Replacing De’Runnya Wilson won’t be easy for the Mississippi State football team in 2016. But if they want someone to do it, they might start grooming one of the most explosive players on the team for that role.

Donald Gray did not have a ton of opportunities to shine for the Bulldogs in 2015, but when he was given the chance, he made the most of the opportunity. Gray had 21 receptions in 2015, but two of those went for touchdowns and he led the team in yards per reception at 18.4.

Gray has the ability to make big plays for the Bulldogs. Expect the coaching staff to get him more involved this spring.
