Gonzalez should fit right in with the Wolfpack's Band of Brothers.
On film, he's extremely aggressive... he plays with a nasty demeanor and edge you love to see from linemen. His leverage and pad level is good, and Gonzalez plays to the whistle, often working his way to the second-level. Gonzalez seems to have one goal in mind: put his defender, or defenders, on the ground.
A Shrine Bowl selection, he'll have a chance to show his ability this week against several top defensive linemen.
Here's your chance to catch him in action!
