Coaches Q&A with Gabe Infante:
Q. Talk about his first year of varsity as a running back?
A. He can accelerate and change direction and he can run through you.
He gets stronger as the game goes and if you are tired at the end of the half, he is impossible to tackle. His lower body is so big.
I see him everyday and sometimes in practice he does something and you say, did he really do that?? Did that really just happen and sometimes its like watching a video game, it’s like how did he do that?
Then it hits you that he’s very young. But don’t let that fool you. When he gets on the field he’s a different person.
College offers: As of 6/4, he has offers from Iowa, Rutgers, Syracuse and Virginia Tech
