MarQueis Gray Qualifies For U

According to this story on Gopher Illustraded MarQueis Gray, the highly regarded 4 star QB from Indiana, has passed his ACT and will be joining the Gophers for the 2009 season.

Gray joined the team over the summer and spent the summer months working out with the team. He was even allowed to practice with the team when fall camp opened for a few weeks. However, midway through camp he learned that there was an issue with the NCAA Clearinghouse and he would need to return home.

The future Gopher quarterback would have to re-take his ACT test and earn another qualifying score. Gray did not complain and released a statement through the University of Minnesota indicating that he would indeed take care of the issue. "I'm confident that I can clear up my situation this fall and I'm excited to re-join my teammates at Minnesota," Gray said.

GI.com learned this morning that Gray has indeed taken care of the matter. He learned early this morning that he earned a passing score on the ACT test he took on October 11th.

outstanding news

I am a big fan of Weber’s and think he’ll set every major passing record before he is done, but Gray has the tools to be a star in this system over his career. And with the pounding Weber has taken it will be very nice to have someone like Gray behind him so we’ll still have some firepower at QB should Weber go down.

what you say here can, and will, be used against you

Oh, happy day!

That’s good to hear. I’m glad that both him and Spencer Reeves kept focus and didn’t get discouraged by these setbacks. It’ll be great to see them in Maroon and Gold next year.

Excellent news

Congratulations to MarQueis for working hard and earning his way in. Both he and Brewster must be thrilled at the news.

Whoo!

Great to see a player who is willing to put in the work off the field as well. Hopefully Brewster can do a better job of actually graduating players than Mason ever did…
