Noah Gray - Tight End Duke Blue Devils Scouting Report
NOAH GRAY | Duke | TE | #87 | SR | 6036 | 240 | 4.62 | Leominister, MA | Leominster Senior HS | 04.30.99
Overview:
Wearing a variety of hats for the Duke football team, tight end Noah Gray is the type of flexible athlete who can cause a variety of mismatches. Some of his best reps come from the H back position where he is given a free release to attack second level defenders, causing a ton of mismatches. Gray is a very smooth athlete who is extremely flexible for the position. This allows him to run a varied route tree with high success. He also offers enough juice to threaten the seam with some regularity. In the run game, his best reps come from a detached position, especially on cross zone reps, taking on the role of a glorified fullback. Gray is an underdeveloped move piece who lacks the physical profile to play in line on a high volume of reps. There needs to be an increased amount of explosive plays for a player of his profile. There is a clear path to playing time on the next level. With Gray’s combination of smoothness, flexibility and versatility, he should warrant heavy volume as a secondary pass receiver from the tight end position.
Background:
Selected as a second team All-ACC selection during the 2019 season, Gray has started 12 of 38 career games played at Duke, including 663 yards and six touchdowns on 76 receptions.
