Notes: Played linebacker, tight end and running back as a prep in Oregon where he was named the state’s 4A Defensive Player of the Year as a senior before rupturing his Achilles during the track season. Recruited as a tight end and redshirted in 2006. Played all 13 games in ’07, starting seven, and caught eight passes for 124 yards (15.5-yard average) and one touchdown. Played nine games in ’08 without recording a reception, missing four midseason contests when he was nursing a groin injury. Moved to defensive end in ’09 and tallied 23 tackles, five tackles for loss and three sacks with two forced fumbles in 13 games (five starts). In ’10, started all 12 games and produced 44-8-5 with two passes batted down. Team captain. Graduated.

Positives: Athletic — former offensive player who is able to open up his stride. Good lateral movement. Is intense and plays hard. Competes against the run and gives good effort in pursuit. Has a 36-inch vertical jump and bench-pressed 225 pounds 33 times at his pro day.

Negatives: Tight hips. Average flexibility. Could stand to get stronger and improve his finishing strength. Ordinary edge burst. Not a polished pass rusher — needs to develop counters. Does not play with pop or power in his hands. Can play with more consistent pad level. Average production. Instincts are still developing and does not show a keen understanding of blocking schemes. Spends too much time on the ground.

Summary: Collegiate defensive end and converted tight end with enough athletic ability and intensity to warrant consideration as a developmental 3-4 strong-side linebacker.

NFL projection: Priority free agent.

I'm glad we snatched him when we did. That would have been annoying to have to wait until free agency to sign the guy.

2010: One of the fastest ends in the Pac-10 Conference ... recorded the fasted 10-yard dash time on the team during testing last spring ... originally a tight end, but made the move to the defensive side prior to the 2009 season ... co-team captain. 2009: Began the year in the rotation before winning a starting spot at midseason ... started five straight games ... had three sacks, tied for the team lead with Stephen Paea ... forced two fumbles ... Pac-10 Academic Second Team. 2008: Injuries continued to be a problem for Gabe, but he did see action in a majority of games ... did not make a reception ... started "No Shave November" for the offensive line, tight ends and quarterbacks - led to an ESPN GameDay feature ... Pac-10 Academic Honorable Mention. 2007: Started seven games, making eight receptions for 124 yards for an impressive average of 15.5 ... scored his only career touchdown on a fourth quarter 11-yard pass from Sean Canfield at Arizona State ... caught a 30-yard pass late in the first quarter at Oregon that set the Beavers up at the 8-yard line in what would lead to a 14-7 advantage ... Pac-10 Honorable Mention Academic. 2006: Redshirt after suffering an injury in track prior to arriving at OSU.

LAKE OSWEGO: Rivals.com four-star athlete ... 4A Defensive Player of the Year as a linebacker and honorable mention as a tight end ... 23 receptions for 303 yards and five touchdowns as a senior ... Rivals.com ranked him the 11th best inside linebacker in the nation and among its top 250 prospects ... rated first on the Oregon preseason prospects list by Rivals.com prior to the 2005 season ... Scout.com West Hot 100 (48) member and ninth on the Northwest Hot 100 list ... Tacoma News-Tribune NW Nuggets Team member ... outstanding track athlete in high school, but ruptured his Achilles as a senior ... also played running back.

My initial reaction was "who".

Now that I've seen a picture, I'm thinking Studebaker better watch his back. There a new GWH in town.

OMG
