Sophomore Jackson Gangwish Jackson Gangwish 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB/LB Grand Island Central Catholic | 2028 State NE has already established himself as a defensive star for the Crusaders, but he will have a chance to lead the offense as the likely QB1 this fall. Jackson had a monster season as part of a super stingy GICC defense, as he recorded 143 tackles, 21 TFLs, two sacks, and a fumble recovery. Gangwish plays with a fiery motor and great instincts that allow him to react in a flash. He reads his keys very well and has a quick first step that helps him explode through his gaps. Gangwish tackles with great form and power when he gets to the tackler, allowing for a secure stop at the point of contact. Great range, going both from sideline-to-sideline and getting north-south depth in coverage. Jackson served as the backup QB on offense, where he had a small sample size but flashed a lot of upside with 29 of 47 completed passes for 377 yards and four touchdowns. From watching him on the field and at our showcases, he has the chance to really ball out with a live arm that can deliver the ball to all levels of the field. Solid ball placement and timing on his throws. Gangwish is also a threat on the ground after recording 30 carries for 177 yards and three touchdowns. Big season loading up for Gangwish and Co.

At 6’0 185, Jackson Gangwish Jackson Gangwish 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB/LB Grand Island Central Catholic | 2028 State NE is a budding two-way star for this GICC football team.  At his MLB spot, Gangwish’s downhill abilities pop off the tape, doing a good job triggering and closing space in the run game.  He also times up his blitzes very well, creating havoc early and often.  At QB Gangwish is prepared to take over after Sack graduates, showing great poise and decision making with the ball in his hands.  I love his motion, which is quick, replicative, and shows advanced dissociation while throwing.  He shows the ability to throw on the run to his left and right.  Leading the team with 10.9 tkls per game, Gangwish is a premier 2-way player and QB in Nebraska in the class of ’28 and I am excited to see the next steps he takes in his development.
