Gus German - Fr. (RS)

Lafayette, IN (Central Catholic HS)

6’7”, 310 pounds

Offensive Line

The son of two Air Force graduates, German has spent parts of his life in Oklahoma, Alaska, North Carolina, Texas and Colorado before he arrived in Lafayette last year and went to McCutcheon, where he played basketball for the Mavericks.
