Five-star running back Jerrick Gibson is taking a good look at the Texas Longhorns. Gibson told On3 Sports’ Chad Simmons that it’s Tashard Choice who deserves recognition for Texas’ role in the recruitment.
The No. 1 running back in the 2024 class said the following to Simmons.
(Tashard Choice) is one of the big reasons I’m considering Texas. Just his personality, his humor, and everything he’s building with the running backs is amazing.
Gibson is far from the first running back to see the appeal in playing for Texas. Jaydon Blue and Cedric Baxter followed Bijan Robinson to Austin after starring at the high school level.
The IMG Academy running back would be the second Florida ball carrier to join the Longhorns should he choose to wear burnt orange. Presently, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee appear to be the main competition according to 247Sports.
Texas can do itself a favor if it performs well and defeats Alabama given Gibson’s affinity for the SEC.
