Gavin Zhao

Biography

Gavin began playing in his junior year of high school with the Stuyvesant Sticky Fingers and Third Rail Youth Ultimate before coming to NYU in 2021. Up until the second half of his sophomore year Gavin was in severe aura debt, but after upgrading his attire and expanding his cutting and throwing bag, he has blossomed into a phenomenal cutter and leader for NYU Purple Haze. His highlights during his time on Haze include never making day 2 of Metro East Regionals, leading Haze to go 6-0 and win an unsanctioned B-team tournament, and then proceeding to go 0-7 and place dead last at its very next tournament. Having captained for 2 years, Gavin’s leadership has been unremarkable; whether that be leading the team in most clips sold or begging our Women’s and Non-Binary Team Purple Reign to spend their own budget on us due to poor budget management skills.
