Though the 5-foot-10 senior was held out of the end zone, he provided a number of big plays to put the Spartans in scoring position, giving them a boost to help defeat the Wolverines.

Quiet against EMU McCray gathered in all two targets for 10 yards during Saturday's 35-7 victory against Eastern Michigan.

Impact After handling a solid volume in Michigan State's season opener, McCray was largely left alone during Saturday's matchup against Eastern Michigan. The 5-foot-10 receiver saw just two targets on the day and totaled just 10 yards, though the Michigan State passing attack as a whole largely took a backseat due to the performance of running back Cam Edwards (152 yards, two touchdowns). He will hope for better days moving forward, though a tough matchup against Notre Dame awaits on Saturday.

Heavy workload in opener McCray hauled in 8 of 10 targets for 69 yards during Friday's 30-20 win against Toledo.

Impact While fellow receiver Rodney Bullard paced the team in targets and yards on the day, McCray led the way in receptions and finished just one off the lead in targets. The 5-foot-10 receiver was expected to be heavily involved in the passing game heading into 2026 and certainly filled that role, as him and Bullard combined for 15 of the 26 total completions to Spartan pass-catchers on the day. Thoguh he was unable to find the end zone, the heavy workload should continue to give him value moving forward, starting with a matchup against Eastern Michigan on Saturday.

Withdraws from portal McCray will withdraw from the transfer portal, per Chris Hummer of 247Sports.com.

Impact McRay will return to Michigan State for his redshirt senior season. The wideout logged 24 catches for 330 yards and three touchdowns in East Lansing this past season, and has one more year of eligibility remaining. He was a highly productive receiver at Kent State in 2023 and 2024, so he'll be looking to recapture some of that magic from his Golden Flashes days.
