He has nine career tackles and one sack.

Gaye made the Titans roster in 2024. His first career sack was against the Texans during a road win. He finished his rookie year with eight tackles and one sack.

He was with the Titans’ practice squad last season.

The Texans’ original deal for Gaye (6-foot-6, 263 pounds) included $80,000 guaranteed with a $70,000 base salary guarantee and a $10,000 signing bonus.

Gaye had 36 tackles, six for losses, 2 1/2 sacks and two forced fumbles in his final season at LSU. He had 9 1/2 tackles for losses and one interception in 2020. Gaye was ejected from the Florida State game for targeting for a hit on quarterback Jordan Travis.
