Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Will Gregory, Jr

[J-Rod]

This is Norm's kind of RB.

[Duster]

This is Norm's kind of RB.

Yeah. All those cliches like being in the right place at the right time, timing can be everything, etc. come to mind. Will redshirted his first season and got acclimated to the academic side of college. Spring Practice plus four years of eligibility at TB/HB. The stars have certainly aligned for him. He just needs to seize this opportunity.

Dont forget Ellis Hendersons exit, that was huge.

Heard some say last year that Will reminded them of a young Alex Green Type Running Back

Will is the difference between McMackin and Chow. Had be played last year, UH makes its bowl and Mack is back.

Bold statement. You might be right though.

[wailukuwarriorfan]

Will Gregory has impressive breakaway speed when the o-line gives him an opening. I'd like to see him getting more touches.

[rbaloha]

Excellent upside.

After clearing the hole needs to locate blockers and see the open running area.

[TheDuke]

if there is a gap he explodes through it. He also has the speed to get to the outside. His two longest runs have been around the corner and his longest was against the speed of USC. He can bounce to the outside and out run people.

[UHfan101]

. Will Gregory Is that guy that supposes to get at least 15 touches a game. Look at his highlight he so explosive at Dominguez they ran the wing t the wing tis mostly ran and that what he do ran so give him the ball more and I promise you he will break for a touchdown

[Afwarriorfan69]

He is good...but he needs to stop hesitating. When he stops to juke, he stops or slows down. Keep moving young fella!
