Julian Gray News, Rumors, Updates - Liberty Flames

Will miss remainder of season Gray (foot) will miss the remainder of the 2025 season as he tends to his foot injury, the team announced.

Impact Gray has been listed as out for the season during the team's most recent availability report as he tends to a foot injury. The senior running back finished the year with 17 carries for 102 yards and one touchdown while reeling in 18 receptions for 218 yards and one score across eight games.

Seen using boot and crutches Gray was seen with a protective boot and crutches during Tuesday's practice, Jon Manson of ASeaofRed.com reports.

Impact Gray's right foot requiring a boot and crutches suggests he may not be able to go when Liberty and Missouri State clash in Week 11. The running back has 17 rushing attempts for 102 yards and one touchdown to go with 18 receptions for another 218 yards and a receiving TD.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Crucial kick return TD Gray ran three times for 26 yards, had three catches for 41 yards, and returned a kick for a touchdown against Liberty on Tuesday.

Impact That kick return touchdown was vital, as Liberty only won by three points. Gray has some big play skills, and he is a good kick returner, but through seven games he's only had 33 touches.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive against NMSU Gray (undisclosed) logged three carries for 26 yards during Liberty's 30-27 win Tuesday against New Mexico State. He also recorded three receptions for 41 yards.

Impact Despite being questionable for Liberty's latest game Tuesday, Gray did play then. In between Weeks 1 and 8, the running back never logged more than two rushing attempts, which his most recent game's carries surpassed. For 2025 receptions, three remains Gray's season-high tally. As a kick returner is how he mostly impressed Tuesday, considering his 130 yards and one touchdown then.

Questionable to play Tuesday Gray (undisclosed) is questionable to play Tuesday against New Mexico State.

Impact Gray is a depth piece in the backfield, so his absence shouldn't have a big impact in terms of fantasy. If he can't go, then his next chance to suit up would come against Delaware on Nov. 1 after the team's bye week.

Catches three passes Gray caught three passes for 63 yards versus UTEP on Wednesday.

Impact Gray, who "moved" from receiver to running back prior to this season, didn't get a carry. He now has 14 carries versus 13 receptions, and he led the Flames in receiving yards in this game. It's clear that his primary role is still to catch passes.

Impact "Gray is a running back now," they said. Well, through two games Gray has eight carries and five catches. Maybe he is a running back, per se, but his primary role is in the passing game.

Moves to RB, catches three passes Gray ran six times for 39 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards Saturday versus Maine.

Impact Gray was a receiver in his college career prior to this season. He has moved to running back for the Flames, but in the season opener he got fewer carries than three of his teammates but had three catches out of the backfield. His role seems murky.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Switches to tailback Gray will play running back for Liberty moving forward, per the Flames' 2025 football roster.

Impact Gray was a wideout for Liberty in 2024, and for three years with NC State before that. For his final season of eligibility, however, he'll switch to tailback, where he'll compete with Vaughn Blue and Caden Williams, among others, for snaps. Gray did log 10 carries for 62 yards and a score last season.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Catches TD Gray caught two passes for 47 yards and a touchdown and ran three times for 14 yards against WKU on Saturday.

Impact Gray also racked up 101 return yards on four kicks, which is notable. While Gray doesn't get many touches, the Flames do look to get the ball in his hands a few times a game at least, and they must believe he has game-breaking ability with his role.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

TDs two ways Gray caught one pass for a 34-yard touchdown and had three carries for 52 yards and a touchdown against MTSU on Saturday. However, he did also lose a fumble.

Impact Gray's move from NC State has not gone as planned. Granted, he's missed most of the season with injury, but in the four games he's played he's totaled four receptions. This one just happened to lead to a touchdown.

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Records reception Gray (undisclosed) logged one reception for three yards during Liberty's 27-24 loss Wednesday at Kennesaw State.

Impact Gray's lone reception is his first since the Liberty began its 2024 season. Currently, the wideout's 2024 stats include two receptions for 10 yards. They are not great and far from even his production at North Carolina State, something he will look to rectify in the coming weeks.

Practicing again Gray (foot) is practicing again for Liberty's team, Bryson Gordon of The News & Advance reports.

Impact Gray shed his protective boot to practice for Liberty's team, significantly improving his injury status going into Wednesday at Kennesaw State. For now, his injury status remains questionable, but he could log his first game since Week 1.
