Gumbo Gaskins brings ball-hawking upside to Samford’s secondary
Gaskins has shown real playmaking ability at corner, highlighted by 32 tackles and 2 interceptions in the 2025 regular season, plus an interception returned for a touchdown in Samford’s spring scrimmage; at 6-1, he has the size, length, and coverage instincts teams want on the outside[1][3][5]. He also has experience and production across multiple stops, including a 2024 Samford season with 6 tackles in limited action, which suggests a developmental defender who can fit a team looking for upside, special-teams value, and disruptive instincts rather than just raw box-score volume[4][6].
