He saw action in all 10 games on special teams and as a nickel back in 2007, making seven total tackles. Six of his stops came on special teams. Gajdos saw action as a freshman on the junior varsity and will have a chance to emerge as a key player in the rotation in 2008. He is enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences.

A two-time all-league and all-county selection, Gajdos was a three-sport start at Montville Township HS.

He ended the year with 19 catches for 328 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for another in 2004. On defense, Gajdos had three interceptions, two fumbles recovered and two blocked field goals.
