Miami already has one of the top defensive backs in the 2020 class committed in Miami Central’s Henry Gray. The 6’1’’ 178 pound corner visited Miami for Paradise Camp and was one of the top performers.
“I think I played pretty good. It was my first time getting to meet the coaches and seeing how they coached me. It was a real good experience.”
Getting to see how Coach Rumph would coach him up when he arrived in Coral Gables did nothing but solidify how Gray felt about the Hurricanes.
“They coached me pretty good. You know Coach Rumph, he has the same kind of attitude as when he recruited me.”
One of the toughest receivers that Gray had to cover was fellow Miami commit Jeremiah Payton. This future Greentree matchup got a head start in making both players better.
“We did a lot together during 7-on-7. It was good competition.”
One of the other top receivers at Paradise Camp was Marcus Rosemy. Rosemy and Gray had some reps against each other at the camp and they will meet again when St. Thomas takes on Miami Central this season. As you would expect, there was a little smack talk between the two.
“He was a good one. We stay away from the smack talk, but I know those guys so it’s good fun. We’ll see them when we see them.”
Miami Central has one of the toughest schedules in the country going against teams like Cardinal Gibbons, St. Thomas, Booker T. Washington, and Northwestern. This is why it is even more important they are at peak condition heading into the season.
“Since the summer we have been preparing real hard. All the running, all the weight lifting that we do. We practice real, real hard so I think we will be ready.”
Gray transferred from Miramar last spring and the transition has been a bit of an eye opener for him.
“It’s way different from Miramar. Different attitudes, different work ethics. It’s going to make me a better player at the end of the day, so I appreciate it. It’s just a different type of standard at Central."
I wanted to get to that high level competition, so that’s another reason that I transferred.”
Gray is looking to improve on what was a solid sophomore season and dominate everyone this year.
“I want to get more picks and more touchdowns than I had last year. I want to aim for like 5 picks and take all of them back to the house. I want to have more tackles than I did last season too.”
Gray and the rest of South Florida Express dominated whenever they took the field in 7-on-7 this past season, which included bringing home the national championship.
“You know, it was a really great 7-on-7 season for me. I felt like I did really good. We got that natty, I had about 4 picks on the run to the championship.”
At this point, Gray’s coach interrupted and asked how many of those picks he took to the house.
“I mean they don’t let us take them back in 7-on-7, but I would have took all 4 back to the house for a touchdown.”
Gray will be in attendance for multiple Hurricanes games this season, but he may also travel out of state to see some other teams play.
“Maybe on the bye week. I might take a visit to Penn State, maybe Ohio State. If not one of those two, Clemson.”
Gray will be in Dallas on September 2nd to watch Miami take on LSU. He will also be at Hard Rock on October 6th to watch the Hurricanes take on the Noles. Gray expects Miami to win those two games and every other game on the schedule. He also gave a reassuring message to Canes fans everywhere.
“Just stay calm you know, you feel me. I’m not going anywhere, I’m 100% committed still.”
