5-star EDGE Isaiah Gibson decommits from USC

Warner Robins (Ga.) five-star EDGE Isaiah Gibson has decommited from USC.

Gibson was pledged to the Trojans since March 24, when he made a surprise commitment while on his first visit in Los Angeles.

The 6-foot-3, 263-pounder is the No. 27 overall prospect and top-ranked EDGE in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 7 player in Georgia.

A longtime Georgia target, Gibson continued to entertain the Bulldogs and other high-profile programs. His June featured official visits to UGA, South Carolina, Auburn, Tennessee, Ohio State and Oklahoma.

“If I were to change, it would be location first, I would say,” Gibson said of his recruitment at the On3 Elite Series in May. “And just overall culture and environment of the players and the coaches that are there. So that would probably be the difference-maker.”

Isaiah Gibson Scouting Summary

On3’s Scouting and Rankings team writes this of Gibson as a prospect:

“Isaiah Gibson is a complete monster and physical freak. Gibson is a broad-shouldered 6-foot-4, 240 pounds with an absolutely absurd 7-foot wingspan. Gibson’s length for his height is genuinely incredible and it allows him to consistently initiate contact by striking his opponents first and keeping them at a distance which allows him to essentially displace blockers with minimal resistance. Combine his length with his tremendous movement skills and you have a disgustingly high upside prospect at the EDGE position. During the spring camp circuit prior to his senior season he flashed fluidity and loose hips when turning the corner and working through individual position drills. When you turn the film on you see an explosive rusher whose motor allows him to constantly apply pressure to opposing offenses.”
