U.S. Air Force 2010 Junior All-American Team

In his three-year varsity career, Johnathan Gray has already earned a number of impressive billings.

He's been called a top recruit, a state champion, and in 2009, the nation's top sophomore.

Today, Gray can add another title to that list: MaxPreps National Junior of the Year.

The 5-foot-10, 185-pound running back improved on his sophomore totals by rushing for a mind-boggling 3,221 yards and scoring 61 touchdowns in leading Aledo to an undefeated, Class 4A Division II title-winning season.



With a deep playoff run next season, Gray could approach 10,000 career yards and 200 touchdowns.
