Listed at 6-foot, 250 pounds, the Port St. Lucie Jaguars 2025 offensive lineman plays bigger than his size would indicate.

We have statistics and film to show you for proof.

For his junior season, the Port St. Lucie anchor on offense recorded the following:

•25 pancakes

•2 sacks allowed

Endres-Gomez on this past season with the Jaguars:

“What I loved about my junior year was being able to show the diversity I am as a player, playing two positions in that season,” Endres-Gomez said. “I wish we could’ve had more teamwork and team bonding moments as a team to build chemistry. But we’ll get better at that this season coming up.”

At this time, Endres-Gomez has no offers. But he will expect this status to change at some point.

The Port St. Lucie team leader faced his college recruiting situation head-on with his reasonings for the slow start.

“It’s just I go to an underdog school,” Endres-Gomez said. “We don’t get much notice at PSL. That doesn’t help at all. And it’s also because I’m only six feet. But I have been told that I’m good enough for D2 (Division II) and D3 (Division III). I will probably be at center on the next level.”

For all college levels, a scholarship offer can come down to a player’s grade point average (GPA) and overall character as a person.

Endres-Gomez currently has a 3.6 GPA in the classroom. He spoke on the importance of getting good-to-great grades and more.

“I’m keeping it up for colleges and to help me out,” Endres-Gomez said. “Having good grades comes first and is the most important to recruiting because if you got bad grades, don’t even think about getting recruited. And having a good attitude shows character and helps gives reason why a coach should offer you instead of a transfer portal player or another player in general.”

In addition to this, one must keep up with his conditioning and constantly focus on improving his craft in more ways than one.

Endres-Gomez has participated in several camps for the summer offseason, including the likes of the University of Miami, UCF, West Florida, and the University of Florida.

He also recently had a standout set of performances throughout the FCA Team Camp at Lake Lytal in West Palm Beach from July 16-17.

The Treasure Coast-area rising star spoke to how his steady improvements have been on display in the summer camps.

“I have just been in the weight room and gym, hitting it hard,” he said.

Endres-Gomez shared his aspirations for his upcoming senior season with the Jaguars.

“My individual goals for my senior year are to receive any offer or scholarships and allow zero sacks all season, which are really close,” he said. “Team goals are to be more disciplined and play more as a team and win more games so we can make it to the playoffs.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: We are expecting great things for Endres-Gomez from now until the end of his senior year at Port St. Lucie and beyond. We wish him nothing but the best on an amazing journey in all things.
