Stats 5 Tackles, 2 TFLs, Only Played First HalfrnI love the instincts that the senior LB out of Manitowoc Lincoln demonstrated over and over in Week Two. He quickly reads and anticipates the play and is able to get himself in position to make the play. Gavin has the sideline to sideline mobility to be able to chase down plays attacking the edge, including jet sweeps. The senior LB was able to show off the strength as he fought through blocks of RBs and OLs. Finally, he was able to get pressure on the QB with well timed blitzes. I really like Gavin’s fit at LB for the next level.

The 6’2″ 215 lbs athlete out of Manitowoc Lincoln is the biggest back in this article. The big back has spent his summer at camps and putting up 40 times in the 4.6-4.7 ranges. That long speed shows up on the film too. When Gavin gets a shot at getting outside the contain man he is able to pull away in the open field. The big back plays at a faster speed, and he plays at a different level of physicality. Gavin has repeatedly shown that he can absorb the big hits and keep his footing, and when he runs his feet through contact can bulldoze right over the top of LBs/DBs. Lettenberger also has proven to be a well rounded option at RB with his soft hands. He is still looking for his first offer, but that can’t be too far away. He is our highest ranked uncommitted RB currently, and the tape shows notable traits. Give it a look.

The 6’2” 215 lbs RB is a beast at the position. Power is the name of the game when it comes to Gavin. Despite his 6’2” frame, he runs behind his pads well. That paired with strong leg drive makes him a difficult tackle for solo defenders, and it usually leads to him finishing runs falling forward. Because he plays lower to the ground, Gavin is able to have excellent balance through contact. You see him absorb a lot of his without being knocked off track. He also has 4.8 speed, so if he gets to the open field he can do damage. Look for him to put up big numbers this fall.
