Gainesville (Fla.) IMG Academy 2024 four-star running back Jerrick Gibson is down to 12 schools in his recruitment, On3’s Hayes Fawcett announced on Tuesday afternoon.

Among the programs still contending for him are: Michigan, Florida, Arkansas, Georgia, Miami, Alabama, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Texas, Ohio State, Oregon and Tennessee.

Gibson is the No. 11 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 1 running back and the No. 6 junior recruit in the state of Florida.

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) holds the in-state Gators as the slight favorite early on, giving Florida a 31.8 percent chance of securing his commitment.

Jerrick Gibson Scouting Summary

“Highly explosive, twitched up running back prospect. Physically developed and advanced heading into his junior season. Checked in at 5-foot-10.5, 190 pounds with a rocked up build. One of the more explosive 2024 prospects in the combine setting, registering an electronically-timed 4.57 second 40 yard dash, 40.3-inch vertical and 10-foot broad jump. Moves at a different speed than many of his fellow top running backs. Carries that burst and twitch over to the field. Shows the play speed to rip off chunk runs. Also catches the ball fairly well, but can continue to improve in that area. Moderately productive as a sophomore while playing for a team with a losing record. Transferred to IMG Academy prior to his junior season. Older for the cycle, turning 17 years old during his sophomore season.” — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
