This story begins with two brothers. Playing in the same backfield as his brother Gavin Sawchuk, a four-star prospect who signed with the Oklahoma Sooners, Gabe Sawchuk had 1,757 all-purpose yards and scored 21 touchdowns during his two seasons at Highlands Ranch (Colo.) Valor Christian.
Gabe Sawchuk is looking forward to the future. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound three-star back is ready to take over the backfield this season in 2023. He is also looking to lock in with a school during the year as well.
Gabe’s current top schools are Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona State, Cal and USC. Sawchuk will be a name to watch in the 2024 class.
The brother-related angle points toward Oklahoma, but you can see that three Pac-12 schools are involved in this recruitment, plus USC, a future member of the Big Ten located on the West Coast. Sawchuk is clearly thinking about playing in the West, which would seem to make this recruitment less than a foregone conclusion at this point. It will be fascinating to see how the contours and tension points of this recruitment change, if at all, in the coming months.
