Gavin Askew brings edge-setting size and real backfield disruption upside to Liberty
In the 2026 season, Liberty’s Gavin Askew is a 6-foot-3, 240-pound sophomore DL with a high-motor profile and legit production traits from Hillgrove High, where he posted 69 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, and five sacks as a senior. His calling card is disruptive length and active pursuit — he also forced two fumbles and recovered one, which screams playmaker, not just space-eater. He looks like a developmental front-seven piece who can fit a team that wants intensity, versatility, and a defender who can wreck run plays before they get started.
