Bridge-Gadd, a University of Washington commit, is the first Paradise Valley football player to receive the Gatorade Player of the Year honor. 

"Daniel Bridge-Gadd is as good as I've seen, perhaps ever, up close and in person," said Catalina Foothills High coach Jeff Scurran in the press release Gatorade sent. "He is mobile and he is uncannily accurate."
