Ray’s making quite a name for himself this season as one of the co-leaders of Mizzou’s defense after another terrific contest over the weekend against UCF. He led the Tigers with four tackles-for-loss and two sacks during his team’s most complete performance of the 2014 campaign.

Playing in the shadows of Michael Sam and Kony Ealy as a redshirt sophomore, Ray’s now an every-down threat and near lock to be an All-SEC member. He’s tied for the nation’s lead in TFL through three games (7.5), tops in the conference.
