Player Story

Jonas Gray story

Jonas Gray built his college career from 2008 through 2011 as a running back from Pontiac, MI wearing No. 25, spending time with Notre Dame. The clearest part of Jonas Gray's career was his backfield work: 1,100 rushing yards, 189 carries, 12 rushing touchdowns, and 105 receiving yards across 25 career games in the available record. His largest box-score season came in 2011 with Notre Dame. Those numbers show where he fit, how often the ball or action found him, and how his role developed over time.

The value of the career arc is that it connects production to role, not just a name on a roster. His career also includes 105 receiving yards and 16 return yards, giving the story more than a single-category snapshot. With 25 career games in the available record, his career has enough shape to show both opportunity and production across Notre Dame.
