Gavin Fugate is a developing, high-ceiling Washington State linebacker with real upside
Fugate is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound Washington State linebacker whose value is more about growth than box-score production right now, but reports from the Cougar staff say he has made significant strides and is starting to see the game “click.”[5][7] He brings positional flexibility from his high-school days as a quarterback/safety, and his transition to linebacker has been slowed by injuries and inexperience, which makes his current comfort level and improved physical/mental state notable context for a team evaluating fit.[7] He looks like a developmental defender with size, toughness, and upside rather than an instant-impact stat stuffer.[1][7]
