2016 FOOTBALL RECRUITING ISSUE Brown: "Devin played safety in high school, but we project him to be an outside linebacker. He's one of those guys with a unique set of skills, and should also be a good pass rusher and blitzer. Settling him into one of those outside linebacker spots will be a big asset to us." • F l a n a g a n H e a d Coach Devin Bush Sr.: "Devin has a high foot- ball IQ, and he's tena- cious and smar t. He's versatile and can play multiple positions. He plays with energy, swag and confi- dence." • Rivals.com Southeast Recruiting Analyst Rob Cassidy: "Gil is a bit of a tweener because of his size, but he is the type of hard-nosed player that Jim Harbaugh will like. He is a hard-hitter and was always around the ball for a Flanagan defense that was really good." • Tom Lemming O f Prep Football Repor t: "He's a four-star guy, whereas I rated his team- mate Devin Bush Jr. four- plus. Devin's just a bit un- dersized. I thought he'd be a better safety — a strong safety — because he's physical. He has a hard-hitting style of play, he fills well and he can run. Maybe they're looking for smaller linebackers that can run, because that's what Devin Gil can do." GIL
