Gavin Byers and Jacob Gall: Chemistry, Expectations, and the Justice League
Baylor football offensive linemen Gavin Byers and Jacob Gall joined Paul Catalina for an Athlete+ interview.
Highlights:
- What made it seamless for transferring in and adjusting to Baylor? The coaching staff especially Eric Mateos and Dave Aranda.
- Jacob Gall tries to explain why the other OL said he is the Batman of the OL. Khalil is the flash and Gavin takes the role of Robin.
- For Gavin coming in after 2019, the expectations were always high.
- Gall is impressed with how the core group has stayed around and accepted that they are stronger together.
- There is a lot of trust in the coaches and that carries over into who the coaches bring in, for example, Jaxon Player.
- Gall thinks Jaxon will be great this year.
- Byers has been working at guard and tackle to be versatile and Apu’s speed was tough for him to deal with at first.
- Gall talks about what makes center different, and the unique challenges of snapping and making calls.
- Gall talks about the small differences for him as the center for Shapen vs for Bohanon. He has to lift his butt up a little higher in his stance.
- Why is the Grant the one girls are after? He’s a smooth operator, smart and charismatic. Mose Jeffrey is Timberlake though.
- Byers sees the OL group as a real brotherhood.
- This is a player-led team and it helps chemistry, especially during camp.
- When do they start to get hyped for the season? The last week of camp, they don’t look too far ahead too early.
