He was born in March 2002 in Miami, the son of National Football League (NFL) player Frank Gore Sr. He attended Miami Killian Senior High School there, playing quarterback and running back. As a rusher, Gore compiled 1,111 yards and thirteen touchdowns on 113 carries in his senior year.[1]

College career

Though originally committing to Florida Atlantic, Gore flipped his commitment to Southern Miss in December 2019.[2] As a true freshman, he led the school with 708 rushing yards on 121 carries, a 5.9 average. He posted three 100-yard games, against North Texas, North Alabama, and Florida Atlantic. He scored a 51-yard rushing touchdown in a 20–23 loss against UTSA, on the same weekend that his father scored in the NFL.[3] He was named second-team all-conference following the season, as well as all-freshman.[1] Through the first ten games of his second season, Gore compiled 731 rushing yards on 162 carries, scoring two touchdowns.[4] He was named quarterback prior to a week eleven game against Louisiana Tech, and threw two touchdowns, leading the team to their second victory of the season.[5]
