Illinois Fighting Illini transfer running back Josh McCray is reportedly planning to visit the Georgia Bulldogs. McCray is one of the top running backs available in the transfer portal.
The 6-foot-1, 235-pound running back has excellent size and could help Georgia replace running back Branson Robinson, who entered the transfer portal this spring. McCray also has a solid track record of production.
As a junior, McCray posted 117 carries for 609 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns (tied for No. 9 in the Big Ten) in 2024. He also added 13 receptions for 116 yards and one touchdown. McCray would be a good complement to Georgia’s projected starting running back Nate Frazier, who is shifty and elusive, but does not have McCray’s size.
McCray is from Enterprise, Alabama. He was originally a three-star recruit in the class of 2021. He’s spent the first four seasons of his college football career with Illinois. McCray missed the majority of the season in both 2022 and 2023 due to injuries.
The bruising running back has 291 carries, 1,370 rushing yards, and 14 rushing touchdowns in his college football career. He’s appeared in 33 games including two starts. McCray’s top performance last season came in Illinois’ 21-17 Cheez-It Citrus Bowl win over the South Carolina Gamecocks. He recorded 114 rushing yards on 13 carries and scored two rushing touchdowns.
