Before Nebraska (Bergen Catholic HS)
Gould came to Nebraska after being recognized as the top player in New Jersey. One of the top recruits in the nation, Gould played both cornerback and safety for powerhouse Bergen Catholic High School, and he was named the 2021 New Jersey High School Player of the Year by MaxPreps.
As the top player in the state in 2021, Gould helped Bergen Catholic to its 15th state championship, a 12-0 record and a No. 4 national ranking. Gould was a big part of a Crusader defense that allowed 7.8 points per game. He led the team with four interceptions and recorded 27 tackles and two pass breakups en route to all-state accolades. In an abbreviated junior season shortened to six games due to COVID, Gould had 13 tackles and four pass breakups.
Gould was ranked as one of the top 25 cornerback prospects and one of the top 200 overall players in the country in the 247Sports Composite rankings, which also ranked him as the No. 2 recruit in New Jersey. Originally a USC commit until the Trojans made a coaching change, Gould chose Nebraska over Penn State, and he had scholarship offers from dozens of schools including Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M.
