Emory Grayson was one of the most versatile athletes in UMass history. He won eight letters combined between football, basketball and baseball, while also competing in hockey and track.

Grayson played as a backup halfback during his freshman year, alternating between the backfield and the end position. In his junior year, he played in the first game on the new Alumni Field, where Whitmore Administration Building now stands, and helped power Massachusetts Agricultural College to a 26-0 win over Colby. He went on to serve as team captain in his senior season.

Grayson was inducted into the UMass Athletic Hall of Fame in 1969.
