Gavin Romanick kommt von der Western Oregon University. Bei den Wolves war der Team Captain in erster Linie auf der Outside Linebacker Position im Einsatz, fand aber auch als Long Snapper, Running Back und Tight End zwischendurch Verwendung. Der 1.88 Meter große und 109 kg schwere Athlet will, wie er salbst sagt, mit den Giants die Euro Bowl gewinnen. Die Steirische Kultur kennt er so weit, als er Schnitzel, Kernöl und Bier zu dieser zählt und sich in Graz unbedingt eine Lederhose kaufen will. Dieses Ziel natürlich weitaus näher liegt, als die erste Euro Bowl für die Giants.

Gavin Romanick: 2010 was my last year playing at Western Oregon University. I was a three year starter at OLB and a team captain my senior year. Currently, I am coaching at WOU as an assistant coach, coaching LB. Every summer the university holds summer camps for high school teams where I have been a counselor and coach. I am an individual who loves the game of football and am very knowledgeable. I know what is expected as an import player in helping with coaching responsibilities. As a player I love to go a hundred miles an hour at all times. I want to be apart of a program that has the position to compete for the Euro-Cup. I have also had experience playing at running back in the past. I am very athletic and feel I would make a great contribution to any team.

Die (Lederhosen) Geschichte wird Romanick zumindest von der Gratiszeitung „Grazer Woche“ angedichtet, die allerdings auch den zweiten Neuzugang – Ben Bianchino – recht optimistisch als Ex-Kansas City Chiefs Spieler ausgeben, was er tatsächlich nicht ist und auch nie war. Wie Romanick kommt auch er aus der NCAA Division II (von den Washburn Ichabods in Kansas) und nahm beim Kansas City Day teil, ein Tag an dem die local NFL Prospects ein Work Out für den Chiefs Coaching Staff absolvieren dürfen, um mögliche Talente vor der Haustüre nicht zu übersehen. Die Chiefs sahen dann über ihn hinweg, wonach er sich nun auf die Spurensuche seiner Ahnen in Europa begab. Bianchinos Urgroßvater ist Wiener.

Der 1.95m große und 120 kg schwere Bianchino startete für Washburn 2009 in elf Spielen als Defensive End, in pass rush Situationen auch als als Defensive Tackle, wobei er 21 solo tackles und 17 assists erzielte, was ihn am Roster des „Washburn University All-Decade Team for the 2000’s“ aufscheinen lässt.
