TCU

“TCU is my hometown,” Gipson said. “You can be yourself there, the coaching staff is great, and they have one of the best cornerback coaches in college football.” 

Clemson

“Clemson was my dream school when I was younger,” Gipson said. “The atmosphere is great and the fan base is crazy. Clemson has a consistent coaching staff, the db coach is going on his 11th year and they win. That’s something I would want to be a part of, a winning program.”

Alabama

“Going to a camp showed me that they work hard,” Gipson said. “The head coach is very hands-on with the DBs so that’s good. Also, they win and develop.”

Ohio State

“They call themselves”BIA ” best in America, and have a good coaching staff. They are well experienced coaches and they recruit the top WRs, so you’ll be gettin good work at practices.”

Texas

“Texas’ coaching staff is outstanding,” Gipson said. “They should have a great season this upcoming season. There’s not too much needed to be said about Texas.”
