Jonas "The Minivan" Gray

Jonas Gray, Running back

Pontiac, Mich. (Detroit Country Day)

Verbal commitment: Nebraska

 

If Detroit native Jerome Bettis was known as "The Bus," then it is possible that Gray could at least be considered "The Minivan." He, like his fellow Detroit native, is one of the toughest backs in this class and runs with a bulldozing style.

 

Gray is a compact running back who can be a workhorse and wear defenses down throughout the course of a game. He is not very flashy or super elusive, but he has good speed and is tough to tackle.

 

The No. 89-ranked player in the ESPN 150 is leaving Big Ten country and heading to Nebraska, a school with a rich running back history. It seems like a good fit, as the Cornhuskers have utilized several backs in the Callahan era. The West Coast scheme will always need a speedy versatile back, like a Marlon Lucky, but a player like Gray gives the offense a change of pace back who can attack defenses and punish them.

 

The state of Michigan has a handful of good backs in the 2008 class, but the "Minivan" is at the head of the pack.
