Gage started off his day by impressing me with his 40 yard dash, as I LOVED the long-striding athleticism and locked-in focus this young man had from the jump on showing the Midwest what is his craft was all about early and often at the Prep Redzone NEXT Midwest Camp. For as long as I have been evaluating Midwest prospects-whenever you find me logging my notepad on multiple pages on one prospect, that is a sign that you are making a longer lasting impression and that is exactly the case with Gage on Saturday as he was all that little notepad of mine at Saturday’s  Prep Redzone NEXT Midwest Camp at the Willow Hill Dome in Northbrook. Gage also showed off why he was a 1st Team defensive back especially in 1v1s, as he showed off excellent ball-tracing ability and great finished longevity with his vision against one of the biggest framed wide-receivers at the camp, by taking him from start to finish with  that neck and neck physicality I love watching out of defensive backs and got one of the most physical pass break ups I got to watch in person from the group at our Prep Redzone NEXT Midwest Camp. The work ethic and skillsets this young man show off a high-ceiling, as Gage is a name to watch out of the state of Ohio over the next several years as there is a lot to like about those ball instincts that are only going to get better and better over time.
