Gauge Rybak '27 Recruiting Profile

Effort is a choice - where there is a will, there is a way. I focus on what I can control to close the competitive gap-grades, attitude, mental toughness, self discipline, football IQ, nutrition, recovery, and the work I do off the field. I never get comfortable and always look to my older and more experienced teammates for insight.

My goal is to play at the college level and ultimately at the professional level in the NFL. If that's not God's plan, I would like to coach at the college or high school level.

Academically I am an honor roll student. I just wrapped my middle school grades with all advanced classes and an accelerated high school science to count towards my high school transcript.

My private development training includes offensive tackle, tight end, and middle/outside linebacker positions. I have been training with Triple H Tackling Academy for 1 year and Velocity Football Academy for a 1.5 years. 

I am always striving to do better and grow. For me, the work is never done. 

I started my first business with my mother in 2013-a travel and lifestyle blog. That business still thrives today. Currently I am working on a local athletic foundation that will raise money for scholarships to private athletic development programs for underprivileged football athletes who want to pursue football at the college level.

My personal attitude, work ethic, commitment to my team, and ongoing athletic development, I believe, will prove to make me a good candidate for the college level.
