LPI: Tell me what you’ve been doing to take your game to the next level. Also, do you play any other sports in the offseason?

IG: I’ve been going to our football workouts five days a week. I’m really focusing on my legs because I realized how important it is for a lineman to have strong legs and good footwork. I study film from my junior season to see what I need to work on for the upcoming 2018 season. I also have been working on raising my gpa.

LPI: What schools have you been in touch with? Do you think any are close to offering?

IG: I’ve talked to a few schools recently, such as Miami of Ohio, and Ball State. I have also talked to NIU, Western Michigan, and Iowa.

LPI: Do you have any planned visits coming up? If so, where at and when?

IG: I don’t have any planned visits coming up at the moment, but I did go to Miami of Ohio’s junior day, and Ball State as well. It was mind blowing to go see the campus and the football facilities. I really enjoyed hearing the tradition of both schools.

LPI: Who are some of your teammates or training partners that you believe can play at the next level, but have gone overlooked by college coaches?

IG:

Maema Njongmeta (’19) – Maema is one of the most explosive athletes I’ve ever seen. In pass blocking drills he has lined up on me a couple of times, and every time I am blown away by how fast his get off is. He started playing football his freshman year of high school and picked everything up extremely fast. He has a great work ethic on and off the field.

Jm Etienne (’20) – Jm has incredible vision as a running back. He will always find an open hole and hit it hard. He is extremely slippery too. I remember this one run he had in our first game of the year. He juked out 2 db’s and spun out another defender giving us a crucial seven point lead in the 4th quarter.

Danny Hynes (’19) – Danny is a very versatile athlete. He played wide receiver his first two years of high school, and made a switch to DB his junior year. He ended up being a very important role in our defense.

Coach’s Corner

Stevenson coach Josh Hjorth on Gleyzer on and off the field

“Ivan is a dedicated, hard-working young man who is finding his leadership voice. He plays with a tenacity and wants to get after the opponent every play. The biggest thing that stands out is that he is willing to do the dirty work, get physical, and find a way to finish his blocks. We are very excited about him, his work ethic, and his senior year!”
