COLLEGE: McCray spent the past two collegiate seasons at Texas Tech, appearing in 23 games for the Red Raiders. McCray shone as the team’s primary kick returner, returning 41 kickoffs for 1,113 yards and one touchdown over two seasons. He earned an All-Big 12 Honourable Mention in 2023 and 2024. On offence, he made 41 receptions for 329 yards and two touchdowns. McCray had a breakout season in 2023, becoming one of top returners in the country. His 717 returns yards ranked third in NCAA, while his average of 27.6 yards per kickoff return was among the nation’s leaders and led the Big 12. Of his 26 total returns on the season, seven went for at least 30 yards, tying him for third in the NCAA, and three were for 50 or more, tying him for first in the nation. Known for his breakaway speed, he ran an unofficial 4.46 40-yard dash at Texas Tech’s pro day and Red Raider opponents often opted to kick away from him instead of face him in a return situation. Prior to transferring to Texas Tech, McCray spent two seasons (2021-22) at Austin Peay, starting in all 22 games he played. McCray caught 129 passes for 1,888 yards and 17 touchdowns as a Governor and was a two-time All-Conference honouree. Despite spending just two seasons at Austin Peay, he left as the school’s all-time leader in receiving yards per game (85.8), was fifth all-time in touchdown receptions (17), and was the team’s first 1,000-yard receiver. He also recorded 100-plus receiving yards in six games and had five multi-touchdown games.
