Listed as a RB for Rutgers, Gabe made a name for himself as a long strided runner that can take off with it once he gets past the first line of defense. Rushing for 1161 yards and 15 touchdowns in his senior year, Gabe was not only a strong runner that could break through tackles with ease but was also extremely quick in his cutting abilities. Gabe was able to shake loose from defenders and find his way out of the pile and into the end zone.

A dual threat with how well he ran the ball in 2023, AJ not only threw for 1862 yards but ran for another 909. AJ has the ability to read coverages quickly and can dissect the defenses with precision.  AJ's 26 touchdowns and 2 interceptions speak for themselves with how accurate and smart he was with the ball.

A strong presence on the line, Kenny has a wide base that gives him stability and prevented rushers from getting around or through him. He not only flashed as a pass blocker, but played a key role in his offense's success in the run game.
