SIGNING DAY PROFILES: Mike Cray

Mike Cray
6’1″ 260 Pound Saint Ignatius Offensive Lineman and Captain
Walsh University

Recognized as the Most Valuable Offensive Lineman in 2012, Mike Cray looks to continue his football career in North Canton. Cray, who was on the 2011 sate champion Wildcats and contributed in many ways at guard, was selected as a 2012 Captain for Saint Ignatius and was one of the key leaders for another strong Wildcat football team that reached the Regional Final. When talking with his offensive line coach, Adam Rini, the first thing he says about Mike is “Consistency.” Cray has always been stout for defensive fronts to get by as he knows and often reviews the fundamentals of the game and waches much film. Cray made the All-District first team and was selected to the AP All-Ohio third team. Mike, who loves the Pre-Dental and Sciences Wing at Walsh University, plans to take his leadership that he learned on Wasmer Field to the Cavaliers. Just recently, on December 21st, 2012, Ted Karras (48-23 at Marian University) was named the head football coach at Walsh University. Long time coach Jim Dennison has retired, so the Cavaliers will have a new coach for the first time in 18 seasons.  Mike will play his home games at a familiar place, the one and only Fawcett Stadium.
