Gavin Sawchuk is a Explosive Back for Oklahoma. Gavin's 2023 season ranks in the 28th percentile nationally by opponent-adjusted EPA per play across 120 plays — a developing rate for the RB.
Elite per-carry efficiency — breaks big runs and creates chunk plays at a top rate while in a limited role.
Top-10 nationally. Multiple mid-to-large collective deals expected.
Tier is a model estimate based on position, school brand, performance rank, and usage — not a reported deal. NIL deals are private. For a real market valuation, see On3's NIL profile, which factors in social following and actual deal tracking.
