Gaea made his debut in the PRZ state rankings prior to the season but jumped 82 spots to #177 overall after a solid senior year. At 6’4” 320 lbs. he plays with an edge to bring heavy contact and be a violent finisher at the POA. He’s able to control the LOS playing with leverage and using natural strength and power. Flashes plus mobility and footwork at his size showing he can pull and work to the second level effectively. Takes good angles to his blocks and can line up a defender in space to make contact and clear a lane. Good ability to use his hands and sustain his block throughout the play. Shocking that he is still awaiting his initial college offer but whoever lands him is getting a late steal in the 2025 class.

Gaea is one of the more under the radar kids across the region and is a dominant interior offensive linemen that impressed at multiple camps and showcases this off-season against top competition, and he anchors the line for one of the top teams in northern California. He is currently ranked as a 3-star prospect per 247-Sports, and sneaks in just inside the top 30 in our current rankings. Gaea is still awaiting his first college offer, but should be closing in on one soon and will be one of the top linemen across the central valley in 2024.
