2016 FOOTBALL RECRUITING ISSUE most quarterbacks, so when they try to run away from him, they can't. His work ethic is unbelievable. That's the overrid- ing factor. "The other thing that is important is that you have to be doing what you love. Rashan loves football, and he has all three components. You can have a drive to succeed, you can be deter- mined, but if you don't like what you're doing, I don't know how long it lasts. If you love what you're doing, the sky is the limit, and that's the case for Rashan." • Rivals.com National Recruiting An- alyst Mike Farrell: "Gary's performance at the Under Armour Game was as dom- inant as I've ever seen from a defensive tackle who played mostly outside and was still too fast and athletic for every- one. Gary becomes our first defensive tackle to finish No. 1 overall, and it is well deserved. The five-star has outstanding power to stun and beat offensive line- men and shocking speed for someone his size. He can play defensive end or move to defensive tackle, go inside or outside. Gary is someone who can step in right away and make a huge impact." • Tom Lemming Of Prep Football Re- port: "I was the one that discovered him at Scotch Plains High School his sopho- more year, the St. Peter's Prep coach told me about him, Rich Hansen. I went out there to see him, and he had a couple offers, nothing real big. I go see him, and he reminded me of Ndamukong Suh. He's everything exactly the same: size, hand-grip — when he shakes your hand, he breaks it — he's got the explo- sive burst, aggressiveness, everything he does is perfect. He's the consummate five-star player and the No. 1 guy."
