'24 FL RB Jerrick Gibson

[VOLfrombama]

We can only hope he's the second coming of Travis.

Also he does look a lot like him.

I remember Brown would run out of bounds and was afraid of contact. Hurd wasn’t even the best RB on our team.

Interesting. That's not how I remember him at all. Came in and ran for almost 500 yards as a true freshman back up. Pretty good IMO

Vol till he aint

He did run out of bounds on one long run, which led to that narrative. However, he also did run for about 600 yards.

Lots of people disagreeing with me, so I could be wrong. I should go back and watch his tape again.

Small has run out of bounds twice this season, once after a long run vs. Florida.

This guy could be a potential day 1 starter if he came here as an early enrollee. Really hope we can pull him.

 

[CAVPUT]

Yep. UF til it ain't IMO.

INSTANT impact starter no question. These are the game breakers that make Defensive coordinators sweat

He basically described Tennessee when he said what he wants in a school

 

[cncchris33]

This kid was allegedly here over the summer, then again for Florida, and again for Bama. Was he here for UK, as well? There is an article up in 247 if anyone has it.

 

[MiramarVol]

Don't think KY. The other times yes.

This kid was allegedly here over the summer, then again for Florida, and again for Bama. Was he here for UK, as well? There is an article up in 247 if anyone has it.

“I had to make it,” Gibson said. “I drove all the way up there, so that should tell you how bad I wanted to make that game. I knew that was probably going to be, like, one of the best games this year, so I just wanted to experience it and watch history be made, you know? I just wanted to say I could be a part of that.

He said he fell while running onto the field at one point and lost his phone in the process. He was pleasantly surprised that he was eventually able to track it down.
“I got out on the field. I’m running. I fell on my butt,” Gibson said. “I guess my phone slipped out in the process, and I was a little upset about that, just looking for it all day. Surprisingly, somebody picked it up and gave it to the officer, so it was good.”

Gibson admitted that the Vols are one of the top teams he’s considering. But he’s not ready to say exactly where Tennessee stands among his favorites.
“I’ve got a good idea,” he said, “but I don’t want to say it right now.”
He said Georgia and Texas also are still among the teams standing out to him, along with “a few more that I ain’t going to give out yet.”

“I feel like it’s a good fit. When I get there, I feel like it’ll be a better fit for me, too.”

Likes Coach Mack, potential to play early, was committed to UF, plans to commit after the season

Curious what the 247 article says, then. It's dated 10/31 and references his recent trip to Tennessee, which could have certainly been Bama two weeks earlier, but just curious.

 

[RockyTop411]

Thought this was interesting too from Inside Texas On3

On3 Consensus ranking: No. 11
Texas offered: February 25, 2022
Notes: Has been a top target of Tashard Choice in the 2024 cycle for months. The Longhorns are in a good spot early on, but watch out for Tennessee with all the momentum now in Knoxville. Gibson was at Tennessee for the Alabama game, and the Vols staff is working him as much as any. Hometown Florida is also squarely in the mix, as is Georgia if they push.
