Gavin has fantastic awareness and picks up blitzers well. His snaps are on point and he blocks to the whistle. Gavin has a high football IQ, signaling when he sees blitzers coming and double teams with his fellow guards then pushes to the second level. Freshmen football is not a great indicator of what varsity football will bring but as long as Smith is doing the off season work, he should be Lancaster's starting Center in the upcoming year or two.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66436fde97ac5"} /-->
