Texas Football: Why Johnathan Gray Is Set for an All-American Season

The best players in the country come up big in the biggest games. Throughout his career, Johnathan Gray has proven he is a gamer.

Lost in his high school national record 205 touchdowns and over 10,000 career yards is the fact that Gray's team won three state championships while he was in high school. In those championship games, Gray rushed for at least 250 yards; in the second championship game, when he was a junior, he scored eight touchdowns. And in his final season, in which he received national acclaim for his pursuit of the touchdown record, Gray produced the best season of his career despite all the attention he received from the media?and from the opposition.

So far, he is showing that same knack for the big moments that he did in high school. He had his best games in some of Texas' biggest of the year, namely when he ran for 106 yards in the win over Texas Tech. But his crowning moment came in the Alamo Bowl, when he brought his team within one score on a touchdown reception and then converted a fourth down with the game on the line.

Gray, like so many greats before him, has no fear of the big moments. That, along with his talent and the direction of the Texas program, is what will propel him to the forefront of college football in 2013.
