A recruitment with twists and turns
It’s the second commitment for Gibson this year. Just last week, he decided to reopen his recruitment.
On March 24, Gibson announced a verbal commitment to play for Lincoln Riley’s USC program. Georgia, and others, weren’t going to give up that easy.
Since the USC commitment, Gibson continued to be pursued by multiple teams.
Immediately after pledging to USC, Gibson was on UF’s campus to visit the Florida Gators. In April, Gibson used social media to document visits to Auburn and Tennessee.
Georgia got Gibson on campus in mid-May.
