Expert Analysis
Jordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Gillick was one of the leading rushers in the state finishing the 2024 season with nearly 2,500 yards and 37 touchdowns on 302 carries. At 6’0” 210 lbs. his skillset blends his downhill running style with his strength and speed. His strong frame gives him the ability to break tackles and shed defenders but also holds the agility and burst to break off long runs. He’s a well-balanced runner when absorbing contact and when making cuts around defenders in space. Flashes great awareness and vision to find open running lanes and attack them with decisiveness. Plus ball security, he protects the ball well upon contact and carries it high and tight close to his body, lost only one fumble on his 302 carries. The Fresno State commit was voted SI First Team All-American, Orange County OPOY, and Southern Section OPOY.

Gillick ended his Senior season as one of the top rushers across the state of California, and is a bruising downhill back that just seemed to get stronger as the season wore on. He recently de-committed from his pledge to Montana State, and is one of the best available backs in the ’25 class in California as we near the second and final national signing day. He ended the year with nearly 2,500 rushing yards and 37 touchdowns, while adding another 200 yards receiving. In the 1-A state title game against Central of Fresno, he rushed for over 120 yards and 2 scores helping lead Edison to a state title crown over the weekend.

Gillick ran for 253 yards on 38 carries with three touchdowns in Edison’s 34-28 win over Granite Hills.
He’s a downhill runner who punishes people and turns 3-yard runs into 7-yard runs. His field vision is good and he has the speed to break big runs once he gets past the second level.
