Episode Details

South Carolina’s football program is exploding off the field—and in the weight room—with three players named to The Athletic’s “Freaks List,” but the real breakout star is freshman Darius Gray. Arriving just two months ago and missing spring practice, Gray dominated summer conditioning, grading higher than any other offensive lineman on the team. Coach Beamer called his performance “elite,” and his position coach said he’s never seen a freshman this far ahead. Gray, now over 300 pounds with less than 20% body fat, credits his teammates for helping him through brutal workouts and followed a strict nutrition plan even before arriving on campus. While starting as a freshman is rare, South Carolina has a history of it—and Gray’s focus? Earning his spot, no matter how long it takes.
