Former Alcorn State QB coach Quinn Gray Sr. hired as senior offensive analyst for Memphis Tigers

Former Alcorn State University quarterback coach Quinn Gray Sr. said his goodbyes to the Alcorn State community via Twitter last evening.  Coach Gray announced this morning that he will be joining head football Coach Ryan Silverfield staff at the University of Memphis, as a senior offensive analyst. 

The Memphis Tigers are members of the American Athletic Conference and finished the 2021 season with a record of 6-6. The Tigers were also invited to the EasyPost Hawai'i Bowl which was canceled due to Hawai'i being unable to participate. 

Gray is a FAMU legend and is inducted in both the MEAC and Florida A&M University Hall of Fame. We wish the best for Coach Gray.  Wheels Up!!
