Rutgers University Athletics

2023 Academic All-Big Ten

Why Rutgers? “I chose Rutgers to be a part of a growing winning tradition and be close to home.”
 
Head Coach Steve Owens: “Gavin was a highly recruited and very successful NJ pitcher who we welcome back home. We are excited for him to have a fresh opportunity to compete for innings and a role on a staff that lost 3 starters. He has gained valuable experience over the past 2 years and has pitched in high leverage situations against quality opponents. We are confident that he will continue to work hard and will impact our team positively.”
