Recruiting: Georgia Tech has recently offered and he also has been offered by Illinois State, Middle Tennessee, and Troy. Georgia and some other schools have started to show interest. Gadbois is open at this time.

Scouting Report: Gadbois has the size and length that coaches covet in an offensive tackle. He has good feet as well, he has good bend, he moves well, he can get to the second level, and he knows how to finish his blocks. He still to improve his technique, more in pass protection than in run blocking. When run blocking, he needs to lock his hands in better, extend his arms, and use the length he has to his full advantage. His body is still very lean as well, so hitting the weights to add strength and mass is something he can improve. Gadbois did not play as a junior, so he is a senior that is emerging late, but do not be surprised if he picked up a number of Division I offers between now and Signing Day 2010. He has a lot of potential at tackle.
