About Gracin

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’ve been described as a “freight train” on the field — I play with relentless energy, never quit, and never back down. I carry the heart of my team, bringing intensity and encouragement no matter how the game is going. My style of play is tough, physical, and fearless: I thrive in lead blocking, red zone carries, and shutting down plays on defense.

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

My teammates call me “Captain America”—a nickname I take pride in because it reflects my commitment to leadership, responsibility, and respect. I value building trust with my coaches, teammates, and referees, always striving to play the game with integrity and discipline.

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

I currently hold a 4.28 GPA, ranked 16 out of 344 students in my class. In 2025, I was recognized as the Second Top Scholar GPA recipient at Coalinga High School. Beyond the field, I am committed to personal growth, service, and leadership. I serve as an FCA Huddle Leader, where I strive to set an example of faith, integrity, and encouragement for my peers.

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

Through football, academics, and my role as an FCA Huddle Leader, I have developed strong leadership and teamwork skills. I embrace playing multiple roles on the field, always putting the team first, and I strive to uplift those around me with encouragement and accountability.

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

This season, I’m playing both quarterback on offense and linebacker on defense, so my defensive stats may not be as strong. I’m embracing this challenge to grow as a versatile athlete and lead my team wherever I’m needed most.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that values strong relationships between players and coaches, where trust, accountability, and communication are priorities. I want to compete at a program that challenges me to grow both on and off the field, while allowing a coach to identify my strengths and put me in the position where I can make the greatest impact.

Redding is one of the top 2028 prospects across the central valley, and is coming off a section title winning season and Norcal Bowl game appearance for Coalinga. He has great open field speed/range, change of direction and cover abilities downfield, while a very efficient tackler and closes on ball carriers quickly out in space. Redding shows great pre-snap anticipation to make plays behind the LOS, and is an effective pass rusher off the edge with backside pursuit and a relentless motor. He is a no brainer FBS caliber prospect that should find a home at the next level by the time his prep career comes to a close.
