Gray Inducted into 2020 MEAC Hall of Fame Class

NORFOLK, Va. | Former Florida A&M University quarterback Quinn Gray was among five members inducted into the 2020 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Hall of Fame class on Thursday morning during an awards brunch at the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel.
 
Joining Gray in the 2020 MEAC Hall of Fame class were Connell Maynor (North Carolina A&T State), Christopher McNeil (North Carolina A&T State), Jana Milin (Maryland Eastern Shore) and Alvin Wyatt, Sr. (Bethune-Cookman). Members of the 2020 Hall of Fame class will also be recognized before the 6 p.m. men's basketball game during the 2020 MEAC Basketball Tournament on March 12 at the Norfolk Scope Arena.
 
Gray flourished in the Gulf Coast offense era under legendary head coach Billy Joe – finishing as the Rattlers' all-time leader at the time in passing yards (7,378), pass attempts (1,113), completions (562) and touchdown passes (57). He holds three of Florida A&M's greatest single-game passing performances: 407 yards against South Carolina State in 2001, 390 yards against Morgan State in 2000 and 388 yards against rival Bethune-Cookman in 2000. Leading Florida A&M to back-to-back MEAC titles in 2000 and 2001, Gray reached the NCAA Div. I-AA (now FCS) playoffs all four years – including a run to the national semifinals in 1999. He signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a free agent in 2002, and he was the Jaguars' backup from then to 2007. 
 
Gray also played in NFL Europe in 2003, leading the Frankfurt Galaxy to the league championship. A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Gray currently serves as head football coach at Lincoln (Fla.) High School, in addition to being a motivational speaker and director of the annual "Future Legends Foundation" football and cheerleaders camp presented by the American Cancer Society.
 
The MEAC Hall of Fame highlights former student-athletes, coaches, university and conference administrators, as well as special contributors, who have enriched the legacy of the conference since its inception in 1970. Enshrinees were selected by an 11-person committee made up of administrators and representatives from member institutions.
 
The inaugural Hall of Fame class was inducted on May 29, 1981 during a 10-year anniversary banquet in Greensboro, N.C. Since its establishment, the MEAC Hall of Fame has enshrined 153 people, including the Class of 2020.
