Running back Tony Gregory has turned in a solid season for Fork Union Military Academy’s Postgraduate program, highlighted by a 22-carry, 186-yards and 2-touchdown performance against North Carolina Tech and an 11-carry, 144-yard, 2-score performance in a win over Averett. Gregory has been pleased with his season and his development under FUMA head coach John Shuman.

“I’ve been adapting, getting bigger and getting stronger,” Gregory said. “We lift hard through the week and everything. We eat a lot three times a day, so I’m gaining weight. You can’t do the same things you did in high school. Coach Shuman has taught me some things I need to do to get ready for the D-1 level. I’m just progressing with those.”

The 6-0, 192-pound prospect, a Virginia Tech 2008 signee who fell short of qualifying on the standardized tests, played cornerback in two games as well but is still being recruited by Virginia Tech as a running back. Earlier this fall, Coach Shuman indicated that Gregory could see some time at corner.

“We might try him at cornerback,” Shuman said in September. “He is a rangy kid, so that might be a good spot for him. He is a good return man and a good tailback. We like him.”
