Big things in store for Reece Gongwer as he has been working hard this off-season to face new challenges of change and making the most of his opportunities.

“My offseason has been busy with my 2 other sports, competition chess, and football training/lifting. Specifically to football training, it has been very productive so far with another month left. On defense last year, even though I made a lot of plays, I felt I should focus on my speed in the off-season. I’ve worked with a track coach to improve form and speed, which I can definitely tell a difference and expect to make more big plays. On offense I have been focusing on my footwork and hands, to allow me to move others more efficiently. This year is supposed to be a transformational year and I’m working hard to make it a reality.” Says Gongwer.

“My mindset entering any season is to do all I can to help the team win. I expect us to win the GFL championship.” Gongwer states.

“I am a true competitor, I love to win. I also love the physicality of tackling and blocking. Lastly, I love my teammates and having shared goals and experiences.”

“I was invited to attend the Under Armour Next camp series this spring and loved the experience. I will be attending the Ohio State camp and couple others. I am also really looking forward to participating in the Future Stars Game at Clemson University in a couple of weeks.” Gongwer adds.
