Hi Corey.
Your hawk is indeed a Grey Hawk. Note the characteristic face pattern, barred legs and with the dark band at the tip of the tail broader than inners. The underpart pattern is fine for a Juvenile.

Yes, imm. Gray Hawk. They probably vary in the amount of streaking on the underparts.
Jan pointed put out the reasons why- the white superciliary and dark malar are pretty good field marks as are the other chars. Jan mentions. Note as well the longer tail than Roadside, Broad-wing and Short-tailed.
