Same High School as Petras. Not often do we get walk-ons from outside Iowa and Illinois.

6-1 and a buck-eighty...nice! If the kid picks the place based on the hard workers succeeding, I like his chances.

Looks like he has great hands and instincts. A couple of years with Doyle and he could be the next great free safety story in Iowa City.

Looks the part, that's for sure. I like his comment that Iowa is a place where hard work is what he likes. Makes me wonder what those other schools have for a culture.

Well we have Coach Phil huh?

Wow this is a really good get, if he and Petras have successful careers in Iowa City that could open up a bit of a pipeline from California. Welcome aboard Gaven!

On the Bob Sanders 'o-meter, how hard can he hit?

 

[NevadaHawk]

Welcome Gaven! Iowa has a good history with walk on safeties becoming scholarship players. Really glad to have you on board.

Maybe the Duncan family can give him some advice on financial aid.

It helps that he’s from Kentfield. That area has some serious $$$$.
