Gavin Anderson Gavin Anderson 6'0" | 185 lbs | RB/LB Bergen Catholic | 2030 NJ started the 2025 season off with a bang. Returning a kick for a touchdown in week 1, that play alone gives us a great sense of the player teams will be getting in the future. I had to watch the video a few times to confirm, but from what I saw, Gavin took it all the way to the house untouched. He was decisive in his path down the field, bouncing it to the outside as he tore by the kick team’s players. Gavin is truly a natural born sprinter, and that was proven on that return to the end zone. He already has high school size and speed and Gavin continues to impress and gain more attention as his high school career nears.

Gavin is a proven champion with all-star skills. He’s more of a pro style running back with great anticipation and vision. Also shows maturity by letting plays develop then turns on the jets when its go time! I definitely have him down as a big play threat. Gavin has shown he can catch the ball out the backfield too so don’t sleep on that ability either.
