Gabe has been a great player for us all year, and even late last year when he hit his stride,” Buford head coach Bryant Appling said. “He has grown into a great leader this season as well. It’s a little different this year as he can attest when the target is on your back and everyone knows you’re a great player but Gabe steps up to the challenge each and every week. He grinds out the tough yardage, but also has enough speed to take it to the house on every play. Just glad I don’t have to coach against him.
