About Gavin

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a fast, physical, and smart runner who can make plays in any situation. I have good vision, hit the hole hard, and can break tackles or outrun defenders when I need to. I’m comfortable in both zone and power schemes, and I always try to get the most out of every carry. I also take pride in my blocking and catching out of the backfield, so I can be a threat in more than one way.

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

I’m a competitive and hard working player who always wants to get better. I take every practice, rep, and game seriously because I know that small details make a big difference. I don’t back down from challenges, and I love proving people wrong. Whether it’s fighting for extra yards, making a big block, or pushing myself in the weight room, I’m always looking for ways to help my team win.

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

I’ve developed a strong work ethic and leadership skills by always pushing myself and my teammates to improve. I believe in leading by example—whether it’s putting in extra reps in the weight room, staying after practice to get better, or keeping a positive attitude when things get tough. Football has taught me the importance of teamwork and trusting the guys around me.

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

One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced is proving myself as a player from a smaller school. A lot of guys get more attention just because they play for bigger programs, so I’ve had to work even harder to get noticed. I use that as motivation—whether it’s in the weight room, training, or on the field, I make sure I’m always improving.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college with a strong football program where I can compete at a high level and continue to develop as a player. Academics are just as important to me, and I want to be at a school with a solid engineering program that will challenge me and set me up for success after football. I also want to be part of a team that values hard work, discipline, and competition.
