Oregon State Tackle Joshua Gray Named To Outland Trophy Watch List
Oregon State redshirt senior left tackle Joshua Gray was one of 75 players named to the preseason watch list for the 2024 Outland Trophy on Tuesday. The Outland Trophy is presented annually to the top interior lineman in college football.
The Rancho Cucamonga native was an All-Pac-12 second team selection in 2023, 2022 and 2020 and earned an All-Pac-12 honorable mention in 2021. The 6'4" 305-pound lineman has appeared in 44 games for OSU over the previous four seasons. If Gray starts seven games this season, which barring injury, he will, he will break the OSU program record for career starts.
