Michael Gaul Michael Gaul 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB State College | 2025 State PA placed inside the top 100, yet not high enough. Gaul got the call from Toledo and Virginia Tech a couple of days after releasing this list. 6’1, 195-pounds, and all-conference 2nd-Team linebacker, Michael Gaul Michael Gaul 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB State College | 2025 State PA had himself a year, securing 120+ tackles, 9 TFLs, and 4 PBUs on defense, all as a sophomore. I may have not given Gaul enough credit as an offensive weapon, his tape has him accounting for seven scores along with his immense production on offense. Had I had another chance, I may have asked around a bit further, my grade is seemingly far too low. Excited to watch this kid grow nonetheless. His role and production at State College are only going to expand.
