Gabe David Hoover (b. Sept. 25, 2000) is a preferred walk-on wide receiver from McPherson High School who redshirted in 2019 and is majoring in business administration.

He earned first-team all-state honors as a senior from The Topeka Capital-Journal, The Wichita Eagle and the Kansas Football Coaches Association, while he was an honorable mention pick by the former two organizations as a junior.
