Earlier on Wednesday, Ohio State fans were crowing because one of its commits, edge rusher London Merritt, won a rep against a Michigan football commit, offensive lineman Avery Gach.
But one rep does not a camp make, just like one rep does not a game make.
Based on the entire body of his work, the Birmingham (Michigan) Groves four-star offensive lineman shined in the Rivals Five-Star Camp, which featured some of the best recruits in the 2025 class. When it was all said and done and the Rivals brass had to choose the best of the best, Gach received offensive line MVP honors.

Rivals’ Greg Smith had very positive things to say about Gach:
“Gach came into the event as one of the more unknown prospects because we haven’t seen him much at national events. He showed up big by winning offensive line MVP. The Michigan commit is strong at the point of attack and once he got his hands on opposing defenders the rep was over. Gach was also very athletic and even competed in the fastest man competition. He’s in line for a very nice bump in the next rankings update.”
Gach was joined by Ohio State quarterback commit Tavien St. Clair, LSU running back commit Harlem Berry, IMG Academy wide receiver Donovan Olugbode, 2026 defensive tackle Deuce Geralds and linebacker Riley Pettijohn in having won position MVP honors.
