Gabe McCoy’s name has come up often this spring.
About 10 UNLV football players have been asked the same question — Who’s the most improved Rebel? The redshirt sophomore linebacker is routinely mentioned first.
The question is usually answered like this, “Gabe McCoy. That guy is (fast, strong, explosive or a hitter).”
Jason Fao had the best response to illustrate McCoy.
“That guy is … I think he’s a robot,” Fao said. “That guy don’t ever get tired. He just goes.”
McCoy started only one game last season, but it was the final one, and he’s carried that momentum during spring ball as the high-motor outside linebacker giving his offensive teammates fits.
