About Gabriel

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I play football with a wrestling background. Helps me with body control and leverage tackling on defense. I would say I have good instincts, field awareness and anticipate well from the safety position when I drop back. I move down field well and have a nose for the ball at LB. I will hit and go up to get the ball also.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Aggressive, chip on my shoulder, confident in my availability

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Hickory Grove Baptist Church

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Great teammate. Always the first to congratulate a teammate on a great play. Help each other get better

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Everyday is a challenge in itself. Keeping my head down and moving forward 365

Sides won’t play with his weight in the 130s forever, as he kept his weight down for wrestling. But while he excels at that sport, if his freshman year is any indication, he has a bright future on the football field. He’s an instinctual linebacker who led East Gaston in tackles last season. As he gets bigger and stronger, he should start to turn heads.
