Ray is a very hard worker and overachiever. He was a RichRod recruit, 2 star Rivals, and questioned by many as to why he was recruited. He wasn't even supposed to sniff the field except for special teams. But, due to attrition and injuries in the secondary he got his shot and made the most of it. He performed better than many thought. Ray is a sure tackler, but average in coverage. He was a true freshman so he was learning on the job. If he decides to transfer to YSU, they are lucky to have him.
From the presser today....
"Ray decided to go back to Youngstown, and that issue is more of a family issue," Hoke said.
Vinopal appeared in all 13 games last year, including seven at safety. He started six games and notched 33 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, one interception and three pass breakups.
