Geoff Gray is in his second season as graduate assistant for Auburn Men's Basketball.
He was previously a four-year letterwinner and two-year team captain at Emerson College in Boston, Mass. A two-time New England Women’s & Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) First Team and three-time academic all-conference selection, he graduated in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing communications and a minor in sports communication.
“Geoff Gray brings high energy, a bright, young mind and recent professional playing experience to our program,” Head Coach Bruce Pearl said. “He has a tireless work ethic and became an outstanding shooter in college.”
Honored as Emerson College Male Student-Athlete of the Year in 2018 and 2019, Gray scored 1,662 career points during his career and won a NEWMAC Championship title with the Lions. As a senior, he averaged 20.4 points per game at starting point guard as the team advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament.
Prior to his arrival on the Plains, he played professionally overseas in the Israeli Basketball Premier League with Hapoel Eilat during the 2019-20 season as well as in the Israeli Basketball National League with Ironi Kiryat Ata in 2020-21 and Migdal Haemek in 2021-22.
“I am ecstatic to be a part of this elite coaching staff and program,” Gray said. “I have followed Coach Pearl and Auburn Men's Basketball for years. I could not think of a better way to transition into this next chapter of my career. I am very excited for the opportunity to learn from the best of the best in college basketball.”
Off the court, Gray has volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Massachusetts Bay and as a basketball coach for eighth and ninth grade students with the Newton Athletic Association.
Originally from Newton, Mass., he is the son of Howard Gray and Susan Phillips-Gray.
