Arkansas offers elite 4-star EDGE Isaiah Gibson
Arkansas has officially joined the race for one of the top prospects in the Peach State this cycle.
On Monday, Warner Robins (Ga.) four-star EDGE Isaiah Gibson announced that he’s been offered by Sam Pittman and the Razorbacks. The SEC program becomes the 29th reported Power Four offer for the 6-foot-4, 240-pounder.
Gibson is the No. 37 overall prospect and No. 2 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. 8 player in Georgia.
On3 ranks Gibson even higher. He checks in at No. 24 overall, No. 2 at his position and No. 4 in his home state in the updated 2025 On300.
Georgia currently trending for Gibson’s pledge
To no surprise, the in-state Bulldogs are currently the team to beat in the push for Gibson’s pledge. UGA has long been pursuing the blue-chipper and a trio of recruiting insiders have logged picks in favor of Kirby Smart and Co. landing Gibson in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM).
“Gibson is deeply familiar with the Georgia staff, has been able to make the trip to Athens with some frequency early on in his recruitment, and he fills a major need for the Dawgs as a potential EDGE or five-technique depending on how he fills out,” DawgsHQ’s Jake Reuse wrote upon making his prediction.
Gibson visited Clemson over the weekend, as the Tigers are one of the primary challengers for UGA entering the spring. On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons wrote this of Gibson’s recruitment last month:
“He likes the relationships in Athens and the fit into the defense. Georgia will receive an official visit. Schools Georgia is up against are Clemson, Oklahoma and Oregon. Others are in the mix, including Alabama, who recently offered, but Georgia is setting the pace in this race.”
More on Arkansas recruiting
After finishing the 2024 cycle with the No. 28 class in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings, Sam Pittman and Co. are aiming higher with the class of 2025. As of March 11, the Hogs have five pledges.
Marion (Ark.) four-star interior offensive lineman Carius Curne is the top-ranked commit in the fold, checking in as a top-150 recruit and a top-10 IOL in the cycle. He pledged in February and is also the No. 1 player in The Natural State.
Saint Louis Cardinal Ritter four-star running back Jamarion Parker is the other blue-chipper in the class. He and North Little Rock (Ark.) Central Arkansas Christian three-star quarterback Grayson Wilson are the two oldest commits. Wilson, the No. 32 QB in the cycle, opted to pledge last April.
Atlanta (Texas) three-star RB Markeylin Batton and Bay Saint Louis (Miss.) St. Stanislaus kicker Evan Noel round out the pledge list — which currently ranks No. 21 in the nation and No. 10 in the SEC.
