Coach Says: Gavan Steinberg’s athleticism and speed will be heavily relied on heading into his senior season, with a larger role on offense and as a second-year starter at defensive back. Gavan improved each week at cornerback on a district championship defense. By the end of the season his ability to both stop the run and pass was excellent. On offense this season, Gavan will be a top target at wide receiver.
