The Tops landed two verbal commitments on Sunday, as Chattanooga’s Jay Gibson gave his word that he’d be signing with the Tops come NSD next week.
Gibson becomes the first tight end — verbal or already signed — to join the 2018 signing class for WKU.
This is a fun highlight tape, and a couple of things jump out — he’s very quick to the block when it’s a running play and he runs…well, not like a tight end.
When he has the ball, he’s a bit of everything — he’s elusive, he’s slippery and he’s fast. All things that should work well in a program that loves to utilize tight ends in the passing game.
Rivals doesn’t have a ranking for him, and WKU was one of the bigger programs to show interest in him — he’s coming to the Tops over Air Force, Charlotte and Navy — but if there’s one thing watching the FBS version of WKU has taught us, it’s that this team is best with those looked over gems.
I’m excited to see what Gibson does in a Chrome Dome.
