mom2kid 216 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Great kid, very fast with great hands. I'm sure his size limited his offers. With 4.4 speed, I think our trainer can work with him to develop into a stronger physical player. He may have a role in punt returns, WR, or backfield. Sometimes those small fast guys can hit those seams. He also had a preferred walk-on offer from Ga Tech I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,805 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Greg King ... Tre Smith...? hmmm If he's half the player Tre Smith was he's needed. Tre's one of the most unsung Auburn players I can think of. As our 3d string RB (when Ronnie et al were dinged up) he ran all over Bama @ Jordan Hare West. Not sure if he was player of that game but he should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Always nice to get a talented kid with something to prove. As a walk-on we know he isn't going to go through the motions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimesAU 89 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Very impressive video. Count me as a big fan of this guy...hope he works his way onto the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridge 29 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Danny Woodhead, but with a cool name. King seems to have exceptional skills and heart. Why wouldn't you want a guy like him on your team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumanCrockett 0 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I hope he comes in with something to prove because he is walking on. He can work hard and I hope he earns himself a scholly by being great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATIGER14 0 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Having watched this kid play over the years at Marist. This kid is an addition to the roster and will EARN a scholly by the time he leaves Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love listening to Jim call the games too. WAR EAGLE! Is it just me or do all of the bama qbs look alike? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Cooper Wallace moving over to play FB. If Gray King is the best option at punt returner this season, put him back there and let him run.

I doubt he has the speed Truitt carries though. Maybe Gray is more sure handed. Pretty amazing this kid is actually looking at PT. Marist is a very good program in GA. They play a lot of kids Gray's size (undersized) and usually have 1 or 2 fairly highly recruited kids on the team as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,969 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Pretty amazing this kid is actually looking at PT. I feel that I should warn everyone that spring practice is typically the time you'll hear about walk-ons being in serious contention for playing time. Most of the time nothing materializes. I wouldn't take much of what is being said as literal at this time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
