About Gary

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My style is aggressive! I do good all game but as soon as I sense any weakness in the opponent I get that little extra hit of adrenaline and make big plays happen!

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

My mentality is just to always get better, no matter how much I win I want more. I've always been a hard worker on the field, in the classroom, and anywhere else I am.

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

I am a proud member of the National Honors Society! And have received honor roll through all my years of school!

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

love to work as a team I know that no matter what if the guy next to me isn't on the same page I'm on, we won't execute properly. I feel like I am a solid leader and role model on and off the field.

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

A couple challenges have faced me but l'd have to say my main one was losing my dad freshman year. The day I realized I no longer had his support, a fire lit underneath me and its drove me to become the young man I am today!

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college that will take hard worker over size (mainly height). I know you might want that tall guy but l'll over work him 5 times over!

Gary Chavez Gary Chavez Gary Chavez 5'10" | 225 lbs | DL Grants | 2026 State NM brought the full package today: production, effort, and the kind of attitude that raises the level of the group around him. He’s built more like a linebacker than a classic interior defensive lineman, but don’t let the frame fool you — he plays with real power, and it starts with a strong base that lets him generate force without needing a big runway. What makes him tough is that he can win with that strength, but he can also weaponize being lean and fast: he’s quick off the snap, he closes ground in a hurry, and he doesn’t waste movement getting to where he’s trying to go. The motor never dipped, and his reps consistently looked like a player who understands how to use his body. Just a really complete showing from an all-around defender.
