FARGO — The list of true freshmen making a bid to play in their first year at North Dakota State was extensive two years ago. As of Monday, it’s short and sweet.

Demetrius Gray.

The receiver from Aurora, Ill., is getting a strong look from the Bison coaching staff not to redshirt. At 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, he’s already looks the part physically.

“Outside of him, nothing right now,” said head coach Craig Bohl.

Gray was rated the third-best prospect in the state of Illinois before his senior season. He picked NDSU over offers from Missouri Valley Football Conference schools Illinois State and Indiana State. He had 19 receptions for 366 yards, a 19.3 per catch average, his senior year. Six of those were touchdowns.

Bohl said linebacker Matt Larson, a walkon freshman from Rosemount, Minn., has left the team.
