San Diego State standout played six seasons in the NFL before becoming a Long Beach firefighter
Gavin Escobar, a standout tight end at San Diego State who went on to play six seasons in the NFL, was killed Wednesday in a rock climbing accident near Idyllwild, according to the Riverside County sheriff’s office.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gavin’s family,” said SDSU head coach Brady Hoke, who coached Escobar in 2009-10 during Hoke’s first tour as head coach. “I know his wife, Sarah, and daughters, Josey and Charlotte, were everything to him. Gavin was a great man, father, son and teammate and will be deeply missed by all.”
SDSU special teams coordinator Doug Deakin was a teammate of Escobar, who was nicknamed Pablo, during the 2009-10 seasons. Deakin called him “the ultimate teammate and friend that everyone could count on.”
