Ja:göh Slade Gonzales!

Slade Gonzales (Seneca, Wolf Clan), son of Bryan & Sacheen Gonzales of the Cattaraugus Territory, recently competed at the “You Are Athlete” camp in New Jersey. Slade was selected Top 5 Defensive Lineman, earning him an invitation to the All-American Showcase in Houston, TX in May.

Slade is a Junior at St. Francis High School, where he was recently awarded 2nd Team All-Catholic!

State Football Recruitment Rankings just released by Prep Redzone New York: Slade Gonzales has been Ranked #47 Overall & #9 Defensive Tackle coming out of the Class of 2024! He is a very well-rounded fundamentally sound defensive tackle. Gonzales does everything well and has nearly no holes in his game. Against the run, Gonzales is quick to win with low pad level, has physical hands and can shed blocks, or can eat double teams and not get moved by multiple blockers. As a pass rusher Gonzales has shown he can win with strength or get by with speed and solid pass rush moves. Overall, Gonzales was a player who needed to be a part of our rankings as one of the best defensive tackles and defensive lineman in New York.

Ja:goh Slade, the work ethic you put into being one of the Best Defensive Tackles coming out of the Class of 2024 is commendable!
