2007 Football Season: Team MVP for Defense and Offense. All-State (3A)

Why Top 40 in Football: "I put God first and dedicate myself to what ever he wants me to do. I work hard and try to be the best I can be. I am also very cacheable and take a lot of advise that is given to me. My footwork is pretty good for a big man too."

"Well, first of all, there are not many 6' 4", 295 pound kids who can run a 5.1 forty and be that aggressive on the field," added Coach Jackson. "Gabriel is just physically blessed, and he can play anywhere on the field. Offense/defense, he can play anywhere. He is just a good strong aggressive athlete."
