Once he sees the hole, he is decisive and powerful through contact. Although he can run naturally upright at times, he has the strength and balance to lower his pads and finish runs effectively.
Gibson came away impressed by his first visit to Penn State, saying that “everything stood out.” Shortly after, he locked in an official visit to Happy Valley for June 12-14.
