Gavin is a 6’4 tight end with the kind of frame and upside that immediately draws attention, especially as he heads into a season where he’s looking to take a major step forward. He presents a reliable target in the passing game, using his length well to create a wide catch radius and finish plays above smaller defenders. Gavin shows promising natural ball skills, extending away from his body and securing catches in traffic, which makes him a trusted option on intermediate routes and red-zone opportunities. His size gives quarterbacks a clear mismatch advantage, particularly when he lines up against linebackers or smaller defensive backs.

What makes Gavin intriguing is the way he’s starting to grow into his role physically and mentally. He’s showing more confidence as a route runner, improving his timing and understanding of how to find soft spots in coverage. As a blocker, he brings effort and willingness, and while there’s still development needed in leverage and hand placement, he doesn’t shy away from contact and competes through the whistle.
