Scout report

Project playerFull-back

T. Gray is a 23-year-old full-back at New York City FC, rated 43.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 51st of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (72.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.39 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gray.

Judged on this season alone, Gray graded 33 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 12% of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 8 clean sheets and 3.392 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 33). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, top 6% of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 23 Gray is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Gray missed 5 games through injury (leg) out of roughly 39 this season. The 29 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
