Gries was a major riser among Nevada’s LBs moving up nearly a hundred spots in the overall rankings with the productive senior season he put together. The 6’3″/235 linebacker recorded 100+ total tackles (52 solo), 4 sacks, and 14 TFLs in 2025. He’s a physical, tone-setting ILB that excels between the OTs as a hard-hitting run stopper. He has the size/frame to play inside backer at the next level but will need to continue to work on speeding up his processing and ability to get off blocks at the next level. Gries is a LB definitely worth taking a looking at.
@FL_Ftball Senior Season, blessed to be part of an amazing season and finish with: • 105 total tackles • 52 solo and 53 assisted tackles • 4.0 sacks and 14 TFL • 2 fumble recoveries and 1 FF • Avg 8.1 tackles per game
Gries had a big-time game to help the Crusaders gain a huge upset win in the first round. Gris dominated the line of scrimmage, compiling 11 tackles and 2 sacks. Gries has great size, athleticism, and a high motor to be an elite college prospect. Gries is coming onto the map and has had a great senior season.
