HUDL HIGHLIGHTS

PREP: A 4-year letterwinner and 2-year starter at offensive tackle for head coach Kyle Enders and Red Mountain High School, Romero continues to add to the Arizona pipeline in the offensive line room. During his time as a Mountain Lion the program went a combined 34-19 on the gridiron with four appearances in the Arizona AIA Conference 6A State Playoffs. Highlighting the teams string of success was a Cinderella run through the playoffs in 2023 as Romero anchored the o-line for the No. 12 seed that went on to upset the No. 5 seed Mountain View, the No. 4 seed Pinnacle, and the No. 1 seed Brophy College Prep before falling in the state title game to No. 3 Saguaro. This past season Red Mountain went 7-4 while the offense averaged 32.5 points, 203.5 passing yards, 148.8 rushing yards, and 352.3 total yards per game. The versatile multi-sport athlete was not only a standout on the football field, but he was a state qualifier in wrestling and ranked eighth in the state in shot put for the sport of track & field. Gabriel is the son of Johannah and John Romero and has two siblings Mark and John Romero Jr.
