“What I do know is that he’ll find a team.

The Edmonds-Woodway High School graduate is Snohomish County’s top hope in this year’s draft, which takes place Thursday through Saturday. Rookies Tyler Shough and Cam Ward look to keep pushing their teams in the right direction, and having a healthy roster is paramount.

He’s just a great person to be around.”

Gaye, a hulking and athletic defensive end who spent the past three seasons at LSU, is hoping to become what’s believed to be just the third player from Edmonds-Woodway or its predecessors to play in the NFL — and the first to make an impact.

However, those back home believe that Gaye the person is the reason why teams should take a chance on Gaye the player.

“It made it easy to want to support him. He didn’t need to do that — what senior in high school does that for a sixth grader? He worked his way back into seeing action in two games, making one tackle in October, but injured his knee against the Indianapolis Colts and landed on injured reserve.

The Titans and Saints will take the field on Sunday at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

E-W grad Gaye will have big rooting section during NFL draft

When the NFL draft gets underway Thursday evening in Nashville, Ali Gaye will have a big group of supporters back home rooting for him. I’ve been fortunate to maintain that relationship since his high school career. I see that it’s very much possible now.

Tennessee Titans downgrade Ali Gaye to out for Week 17

The Tennessee Titans are making final adjustments before taking on the New Orleans Saints at Nissan Stadium on Sunday in their 2025 home finale, and have updated the injury status of a potential depth piece.

“In my conversations with him and other people, I don’t know how the draft is going to wash out,” Gradwohl said.

“I think you could talk to all of his friends and teachers and the people who got to know him, and they would all say that he’s genuinely a nice and giving person,” said Gradwohl, who continued to help guide Gaye during Gaye’s path through college.

He’s really humble, a super hard worker and a strong leader.
