Gray Tacks on Third All-American Honor

DURANT, Okla. – Marquis Gray tacked on a third national honor on Thursday when he was named a First Team Associated Press Division II All-American.
 
Gray, a wide receiver from Tyler, Texas, adds the honor to his AFCA First Team Award and his second team D2CCA All-American recognition earned earlier this week. Additionally, he was named a first team All-Super Region 3 honoree to go with first team All-Great American Conference recognition.
 
A junior, he has been not only the top receiver in the GAC but also among the best in the nation as he has racked up 1,463 yards receiving, setting a new Southeastern single season record, while also breaking the school record for touchdowns in a season with 17. He completed the single season record trifecta when he hauled in 10 catches in the bowl game to finish the year with 79 receptions, setting a new school mark in that as well.
 
He posted back-to-back three touchdown outings this season and caught a touchdown pass in every regular season game this season.
 
He turned in six games with more than 100 yards receiving, including his career-high 201-yard effort, while putting up multiple touchdowns in four games this season.
 
The honor brings Southeastern's all-time All-American honor count to 67, including 26 in the Division II era.
