Potentially a backup in a zone system, Gaston is a self-motivated prospect who will do well as a special-teams player.


Biography:

Full-time starter the past three seasons who registered 61/1/12 as a senior after 62/3/4 the prior year.

Pos:

Smallish cornerback best facing the action. Effective backed off the line of scrimmage, fluid turning his hips and runs well with opponents. Locates the ball and positions himself to defend the throw. Possesses a burst of closing speed and nicely times defenses.

Neg:

Very quick out of his backpedal. Occasionally loses opponents. Does not display great instincts.
