Gauthier started all 13 games at center for the Miami football team in 2017. He also started the final four games of the 2016 season at left guard for the Hurricanes. Gauthier received honorable mention All-ACC at center in his Junior season.
As Gauthier and quarterback Malik Rosier return at the two most important positions on offense, they should be two of the leaders for Head Coach Mark Richt this season. The only other Senior starters Miami is likely to have on offense are left tackle Tyree St. Louis and left guard Jahair Jones who is entering his first season as a starter.
