Gervase is one of the top linebackers still available across southern California and is going to be a very nice steal for someone here late and is balanced both in the run game and in man coverage downfield. He is a highly instinctual player that reads plays quickly, takes good angles into the backfield and packs a punch at the POA. He shows he can apply pressure up the middle or off the edge with some good bend and active hands/hips at the top of his rushes and is a high motor player that can track down and make plays backside. He also flashes the ability to make plays outside the tackles sideline to sideline and scrapes well over the top while staying square and dipping around or through blockers on his way to the ball. Gervase should be one of the top players in the southland this fall and is a key name to watch on the recruiting trail.

Gervase is a very active inside linebacker that plugs in-between the tackles and is extremely physical at the point of attack. He has closing speed and range to get into the backfield and pass rush abilities up the middle or off the edge with active hands and a few moves in his toolbox. He is strong when shocking and shedding off blocks and is a very efficient tackler that packs a punch and can play sideline to sideline. He’s one of the top under-recruited linebackers in Southern California and is going to be a college steal down the stretch.

Gervase is very active from the second level and offers tremendous versatility and athleticism both inside and outside. Anchoring the defense for one of the top teams in the country, the Mission Viejo product excels at making plays behind the line, navigating through traffic quickly and is a explosive hitter at the point of attack. He is a high IQ prospect that can sniff out screens/draws and shows closing speed and the ability to set the edge when on the outside and quickly get off blocks/take on pullers with ease. Overall, he is a three down player that can defend the run and cover in space and as he continues to grow and develop, should see plenty of college interest comes away.

Gervase earned MVP of the LB group with the skillset, athleticism, and consistency he showed throughout each period of Sunday’s camp. He’s a well-rounded defender that was quick and efficient with his reads and angles in the indy period, proved his quickness and agility keeping pace with RBs during the 1v1s routes, and possesses the physical tools to develop into one of the top LB prospects in Orange County over the coming seasons. Gervase just picked up his first offer from Southern Miss this month and should continue to add to his list with similar performances the rest of this offseason.

Gervase was the first linebacker you noticed during the testing period due to his frame. He was the most complete linebacker in terms of size, frame and athleticism. Gervase shut down running backs in one-on-ones and showed athleticism taking reps at running back too. He recently picked up an offer from Southern Mississippi.
