10/02/20 - DE Ali Gaye, rSr/2023, LSU

Inside his apartment last Saturday night, Ali Gaye ate Polynesian food with his roommates and their families. Defensive lineman Soni Fonua's mom brought enough to feed about 40 people, so the players feasted after a season-opening loss to Mississippi State. Gaye, a junior defensive end, felt confident that night LSU would fix its mistakes. He had played well in his first start, using the natural length that pushed him up the depth chart in preseason practice. Gaye brushed off his success. "That's just one game," Gaye told his high school football coach, John Gradwohl, who attended the dinner. "There's lots of room for improvement."

Gaye deflected attention from himself, but he stood out in the midst of a disappointing loss. His final stat line - three tackles, one sack, a tackle for loss and three deflected passes - signaled a breakout performance. Emerging as a force on LSU's defense realized one of Gaye's dreams. He started playing football after his family moved from The Gambia, a small country on the Western coast of Africa, when he was 12. He attended two junior colleges because one of them dropped its football program, and he has lived in four states, moving to pursue his football career. If Gaye develops, coach Ed Orgeron believes he can become an early pick in the NFL draft because of his size. Gaye, who's 6-foot-6, can declare for the draft next spring. "Hopefully he stays for two years," Orgeron said, smiling. "Don't get too good." - Baton Rouge Advocate
