4-star RB Jerrick Gibson focusing on four schools for official visits
Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy four-star running back Jerrick Gibson is focusing on four schools for official visits this summer, according to Steve Wiltfong of 247 Sports. Officials to Georgia (June 2), Alabama (June 9), Tennessee (June 16) and Texas (June 24) are currently under consideration by Gibson.
Gibson is the No. 28 overall prospect and No. 1 running back in the 2024 On300. He is also the No. 7 player in Florida.
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound tailback has previously visited the Bulldogs, Longhorns and Volunteers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Florida is leading for Gibson’s commitment at 30.1%. He was previously committed to the Gators.
Gibson previously spoke with On3’s Chad Simmons about his interest in Georgia, Tennessee and Texas.
Georgia: “Georgia’s got a great running back history. Great fanbase. It’s close to home, which is good.”
Tennessee: “Tennessee has always been recruiting me heavy, so I always bought into it. It’s amazing to see their season right now… That just adds on top of what I already knew.”
Texas: “I like the environment, what they’re building on their team. They’re just building something special there, so I would love to be a part of it.”
Jerrick Gibson On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Jerrick Gibson:
“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.”
