Gaskin was all over the field in Valdosta State's victory over Keiser to open the season. The senior linebacker finished with nine total tackles, second on the team, which included two solo stops and assisted tackle for loss. Gaskin also caused problems in the passing game with one breakup, two hurries, and an interception which was returned for 37 yards in the fourth quarter setting up a field goal for a 33-21 lead at that point.
