Coaches' Comments: "Gandy is a team player, exhibited in the spring when he jumped in and did well at center back one game. He's at his best as a technical, distributing center mid that can be a force in the air with his height and in the final third with a cannon shot."
2017: Played in three contests, including one start as a junior.
2016: Started one match in six appearances in his sophomore campaign... Recorded two shots on the season, both coming in Davidson’s match against St. Bonaventure.
2015: Played 13 games in the midfield, including four starts as a freshman… Recorded his lone shot in Davidson’s 2-1 win over USC Upstate (9/25).
Prep/Personal: '97 Region II Team Orlando, Fla... Adidas Select Team: Real Madrid... US Soccer ID2 Camp, Virginia... Ranked No. 1 in academic class... Member of Kappa Sigma... Born and lived in Saudi Arabia for six years... June 2017 summer internship with Ernst & Young in Dubai... Son of Phil and Beth Gandier... Brother Michael played soccer at Furman... Also has a sister, Kelsey... Cousin and uncle played for the Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL)... Economics major and Hispanic Studies minor... Spending 2018 summer as an intern with Wells Fargo in Charlotte.
Why did you choose Davidson: I knew that I wanted to play soccer at a high level, but I also knew that getting a quality education was equally as important, and in the long run, much more so. When I stepped onto the campus, I knew that the school's culture, location, and honor code was perfect for me.
