Memphis, Tennessee; After the 2018 season ended, speculation began as to whether Hounddogs quarterback Ricky Ray will return in 2019 or retire. All that speculation ended Thursday morning as Ray reported to the Hounddogs training camp in Murfreesboro.
" I feel good. My wife and I talked about my returning or possibly retiring. I still love the game and feel I can still contribute in a positive way. I am just going to take it a game at a time. We have a talented team and I believe on the cusp of something special. " said Ray.
Hounddogs head coach Philip Fulmer was happy to see his four year starter come into camp. " Rick (Ray) is the heart and leader of this team and having him back in camp is a much needed shot in the arm for this team. "
Rookie quarterback JT Barrett who has been taking a majority of the snaps while Ray was away, has taken it in stride. " Hey man, this is Ricky's team! Has been ever since this team has existed. He is a legend and I look forward to learning from him." said Barrett.
Memphis opens its 2019 season at Los Angeles Saturday February 23rd.
