Senior Matt Summers-Gavin Named to All-NorCal First Team.
The links are subscription only, but NorCalPreps.com had this to say about Matt: OL Matt Summers-Gavin, St. Ignatius Summers-Gavin is the top rated prospect in Northern California and his play this past season was instrumental in a 10-2-1 record and the school's first CCS title since 1967. The 6-foot-5, 271 pound lineman was named to both the All-Metro and All-CCS first-teams and will see his next football action on January 6 in San Antonio, Texas at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. CalHi Sports had this to say: OL – Matt Summers-Gavin (St. Ignatius, San Francisco) 6-5, 280, Sr. The mammoth-sized Summers-Gavin helped the St. Ignatius offense average nearly 300 yards per game on its way to an 9-2-1 season record. With that also came the school's first West Catholic Athletic League regular season title since 1967 after it tied for first with Serra of San Mateo. With Summers-Gavin's dominance clear in every game, the Wildcats also won their first CIF Central Coast Section title, which came in Division III. Before Brandon Carswell came on late for Milpitas, it was thought that Summers-Gavin or Fred Koloto might be the CCS player of the year even though both are linemen. Summers-Gavin also has been the highest-ranked college prospect in the Bay Area. He was a prime target of Notre Dame, but recently gave a verbal commitment to Cal.
