Gabriel Ervin Gabriel Ervin 6'0" | 250 lbs | DL Gulf Shores | 2028 State AL is a talented DL from Gulf Shores who dominated all of last season, making him our #2 DL and #6 overall prospect in the class.

“At 6’0 250, Ervin already has the size and athleticism to make some seriously impressive plays in the trenches. He plays with great leverage, has impressive strength/power, and can explode out of his stance to win matchups at the line of scrimmage.“

Ervin had a fantastic season, recording 73 total tackles (27 for loss), 11 sacks, and 19 hurries.

With how well he’s performed, Ervin has generated tons of collegiate interest in the last year.

I won’t be surprised if that keeps up. He’s a talented defender with a huge junior season ahead.

Ervin brings undeniable grown-man strength to the front seven and consistently controls the line of scrimmage with sheer will and physical dominance. He shows both upper- and lower-body power, winning reps with violent rips, strong grip strength, and leg churn that allows him to move blockers off their spot and collapse gaps.

What separates Ervin is his ability to maintain leverage while playing with power. Despite his size, he shows a solid get-off and enough short-area quickness to disrupt timing at the point of attack. He routinely commands double teams and still impacts the play, anchoring against the run while forcing offenses to account for him snap after snap.
