Gregory Little (born November 4, 1997) is an American football offensive tackle for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Ole Miss.
High school career
A native of Allen, Texas, Little attended the Allen High School, where he was a three-year starter on the offensive line. Blocking for quarterback Kyler Murray, Little helped Allen to back-to-back 16–0 seasons and 6A Division 1 UIL state championships in 2013 and 2014. In Little's senior season, Allen went undefeated again until they were upset by Sam Ehlinger's Austin Westlake team in the state championship semifinals.[1]
Regarded as a five-star recruit, Little was ranked as the No. 2 prospect overall, behind Rashan Gary, in the class of 2016 by ESPN.[2] After his junior season, Little verbally committed to Texas A&M, who had signed Allen quarterback Kyler Murray. Few days later, he decommitted from the Aggies.[3] Little eventually chose Ole Miss over scholarship offers from Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M, Louisiana State, and others.
College career
In his true freshman year at Ole Miss, Little played in every game with five starts at left tackle, where he replaced Laremy Tunsil.[4] On December 10, 2018, Little declared for the 2019 NFL Draft.[5]
Professional career
Little was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the second round with the 37th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.[6]
