Early-Season Freshman Corner with Size and Ball Skills
Savaughn Gentle is an intriguing Cal Poly freshman CB in the 2026 season: at 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, he brings rare length and physicality for the position, plus a prep resume that included 52 tackles, three pass breakups, and an interception in his junior year at Paraclete. He has already seen the field in 2026, posting 10 tackles and 2 passes defended through Cal Poly’s first two games, which hints at early trust and active involvement. The upside? Size, toughness, and a willingness to tackle; the caveat? He’s still building college experience, so he looks more like a development-plus-athletic-profile fit than a finished product.
