'Model Student' Shines Both On And Off The Soccer Field In Randolph

RANDOLPH, NJ — We all know student athletes who also bring their A-game to other parts of their lives.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. We’re working to let all your neighbors know the individual stories behind the leaderboard.

Why do you believe the star student athlete should be recognized?

Gavin is a Freshman at Randolph High school. He is an all-around athlete playing soccer, basketball and baseball. He was selected as Captain of his freshman soccer team and, after the first week of the season, was pulled up to be the starting Varsity goalie.

Gavin is a straight-A Honors Student, who also volunteers with an organization called Levelling the Playing Field, where he collects new and used athletic equipment to donate to schools and programs in low income areas to ensure kids have access to equipment they otherwise wouldn’t be fortunate enough to have.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star student athlete?

Gavin is an all-around great kid. A leader on the field, a model student, and someone who cares deeply about others around him and wanting to help those less fortunate than him.

Keep up the great work, Gavin!
