“Now a days at defensive back you need great length to match up with the big receivers,” Blackman head coach Kit Hartsfield said. “He’s a big corner that runs well enough to cover anyone. Just that size alone is what he is going to thrive his game off of.”
One of the schools Gibson has been hearing more from is Tennessee as the Vols continue to evaluate him.
“They like that I am versatile,” Gibson said. “I can play corner, safety or nickel. Really anywhere. They see me as an athlete really.
“I talk to coach Ansley a good bit. Coach Pruitt texts me some too. I like them a lot. It’s the home town school. They like me a lot and I like them a lot. They like the fact that I can play anywhere in the secondary. They like my footwork. I have working really hard on my footwork and my technique.”
Gibson is also hearing a lot from Ole Miss, Arkansas, Louisville and Kentucky. He hopes to get to Knoxville soon.
“I plan on visiting there this summer. I don’t have an exact date yet, but I hope to get there soon,” Gibson offered.
