Gabe presents really good size, good skill and a tremendous work ethic. Spending last year at Hargrave was a bonus in his development. Our intention is to redshirt Gabe to aid in that development. During this coming season, Gabe will train, practice and travel throughout the entire season."

He was originally part of the Class of 2021, but opted to reclassify for 2020 and is expected to be on campus next week. He is the fifth addition for the program in this offseason, following high school seniors D'Andre Davis & JJ Traynor and graduate transfers Carlik Jones & Charles Minlend.
