A former Enterprise (Alabama) High School standout, McCray comes to UGA after 4 seasons with the Illini. McCray, listed at 6-1, 235 pounds, played in 33 games at Illinois.
McCray joins the Georgia running back room after a strong performance against an SEC defense. McCray was named the Citrus Bowl MVP for helping Illinois to a win over South Carolina, rushing 13 times for 114 yards and 2 touchdowns. He finished the season with 117 carries for 609 yards and 10 TDs.
