Gibson, a four-star cornerback from Armwood High School in Tampa, is a Rivals250 member as well as an ESPN300 member. When Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin left for Penn State, Gibson reevaluated his options and eventually chose to be a UCF Knight.

“I just felt like it was the best fit for me and the best situation as far as the school and playing time. I just feel like they have something on the rise right now. I want to be a part of it,” Gibson told UCFSports.com.
