“I feel like it’s a huge opportunity, there’s a lot of development to come and a lot of things to learn and I plan on getting the playbook soon,” Gibson told DawgsHQ back on Nov. 8. “I plan on being locked in and I want to work my way into being a starter day one.”
Gibson has been anticipating his opportunity to join the Bulldogs since before he even committed to the program.
“I honestly wanted to leave in May,” Gibson said with a laugh. “It is what it is. I’m excited man, it’s a new journey, its the next level. My plan is that I want to do better in college than I did in high school. I just want to get better and better. The only way I can do that as of right now is to go to Georgia.”

Measured in at 6-foot-3.25, 263 pounds at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season, but looks to have trimmed down significantly as a senior. Has elite length and a big frame, sporting 35-inch arms and 10.5 hands. Runs well in the combine setting.

Converts speed to power with ease. Knifes through the offensive line as a straight-line rusher. Fights through blocks. Shows the ability to beat double teams and finish with sacks.
Has truly elite closing speed and is a violent finisher. Play speed and effort level allows him to make jaw-dropping plays in pursuit. Uses his length to corral ball carriers, sometimes with just one hand. Able to generate sacks that some others can’t due to his power and finishing ability. Also projects as a high-end edge setter due to his size and strength. Also plays basketball, showing his athleticism as a rim protector and dunker. Will need to continue honing his technical skill set as a pass rusher, adding moves to his repertoire. Winning more with his physical traits and effort at this stage.
