Key Players to watch for the RedHawks
Brett Gabbert, quarterback – Gabbert returns under center for the Redhawks entering his fourth season after leading the Redhawks to a 6-7 season in 2022. Gabbert, currently sits 4th all time in passing yards (6,688), 6th in completion percentage (.588%), tied for 5th in passing touchdowns (49). Like his older Brother, Blaine, who spent many years in the NFL, Brett loves to sling the rock around on offense.
“I think Gabbert their quarterback is a guy that has played a lot of football, with a ton of experience, 33 career starts. He is a guy that expects to go out and make the play. Anytime you play a quarterback that thinks that way, is a very dangerous quarterback in that regard because they have seen everything defense have tried to do, and nothing phases them,” Scott Satterfield said. “He is a very accurate passer and wants to get the ball out quickly.”
Gage Larvadain, wide receiver- A 5’10” speedster on the outside has drawn national attention after a career game vs UMass last week where he finished with eight receptions for 273 yards and three touchdowns in the Redhawks 41-28 victory. Larvadain hauled in a 99-yard touchdown that put his speed on full display and has garnered national attention over the last few weeks.
“They have a really good return guy, who is also their number on receiver in Larvadain, who they love to get the ball too. He can flat out fly, last week he had eight catches for 273 yards and three touchdowns, including a 99 yarder and will certainly get the ball,” said Satterfield. “They do want to get the ball out to Larvadain he is their guy.”
Rashad Amos, running back- Amos, a redshirt sophomore took all the snaps for the RedHawks last week after starter Kenny Tracy was nicked up and didn’t play due to injury. Amos had 23 carries for 115 yards in the RedHawks victory over UMass. Amos is listed at 6’2″, 234 pounds according to the teams depth chart. “Miami has a great running back, he’s big, physical. He has great contact balance and loves to spit the ball downfield to pick up first downs,” said Satterfield.”
