DB Kendall Gant | Lake Gibson | 6’3 | 180 | 2014
To win in football games you need to have playmakers that can force turnovers. Gant is the definiton of a ball hawk. With numerous interceptions last year, Gant made plays easily. He earned 2nd-team All-State honors and really exploded on the scene last year. Something that I feel goes unnoticed is Gant’s great tackling ability. Whenever he is on an island and a 200-pound running back is coming his way, Gant can hold his own and that’s what makes him a top tier prospect.
