On3 Scouting Profile
Smooth defensive back with the speed and skills to play multiple spots in the secondary. Has a thin build, checking in at around 6-feet, 165 pounds with a 6-foot-2.5 wing-span at the Under Armour Dallas camp prior to his senior season. Turns in strong marks as a sprinter in track and field. Consistently runs sub 11 seconds in the 100 meters, with a personal best of 10.62 seconds as a junior. Has lined up at both corner and safety for Lancaster, but is starting to look more and more like a cornerback prospect as his career progresses. At ease covering outside or in the slot. Has relatively refined footwork in coverage. Transitions easily. Shows the top end speed to run with receivers on vertical routes. Triggers quickly in defending underneath routes. Will need to tack on considerable mass to his thin frame. Did not have a ton of ball production as a junior.
On3 Personal Life file
Leon Paul has been around some talented players during his time as a coach at both Duncanville and Lancaster. But he says Corian Gipson ranks at the top of the list of players that he’s ever worked with. “He’s one of the best, if not the best that I’ve ever coached or been around,” Paul told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. “I’ve coached some good ones. At Duncanville, we had Stacy Brown (Missouri), Chris Thompson (USC), Ennis Rakestraw (Missouri) to name a few, and he’s at the top of the list because he’s so dynamic.” Gipson is also one of the top sprinters in the Metroplex and is part of a 4×100-meter relay team that clocked a 41.74-second time in the spring of 2022. He also has a personal-best 100 time of 10.73 seconds and runs the 4×200 and 4X400 for Lancaster.
