Was originally a 4-star 2017 Nebraska signee (NATL #200, PRO #9) in the same class as Tyjon Lindsey.

Per 11W:

"A seventh-year senior who started his career at Nebraska as a member of the recruiting class of 2017, Gebbia is expected to be a backup for the Buckeyes. While he started five games for Oregon State between the 2019 and 2020 seasons, he did not play at all in 2021 due to a hamstring injury and played in just four games in 2022, completing 10 of 11 passes for 79 yards."

So over the past two years he’s completed over 90% of his passes? There’s next year’s starter, paint the end zones!

Depth is good.

Wait, a win in the portal world? Say it ain't so.

Per 11W:

Didn't play at all in 2021 due to hamstring injury --- I need some help here: should I be casting stones at the Oregon State medical staff or just calling Tristan a quitter?

Might as well do both. Make sure you get the right problem.

Depth and experience, puts OSU at 4 QBs where Day wants them.

Has the feeling of when they brought in Chugs for depth. If this kid can give a little mentorship and provide a knowledgeable backup service ala Guiton, then it’s a big win.

Or, it means somebody's about to transfer.

I might have the wrong guy but I think Gebbia was given some snaps against UF in bowl game, mostly for his commitment to program and being such a strong practice player.

*Just checked box score and it was Gebbia…..great lockerroom guy who went 5/6 passing and had some gritty plays on his time against Florida in bowl game.

I’d say this is most likely a move to get a head start on coaching post college playing days. Getting a year under Day is a helluva internship……can’t hurt having him on roster tho and we have the extra scholarships….

I’m sitting here thinking “no big deal, when’s the last time we ever needed the 4th guy?”

Then I remember our 4th guy post spring game was just our primary back in a CFP game and viola, another reason to drink appears.

I had to look up Kenny:

Coaching career (HC unless noted)
2015–2016 Houston (GA)
2017–2018 Houston (WR)
2019 Louisiana Tech (OWR)
2020 Colorado State (WR)
2021–present Arkansas (WR)

Hey, he's moving up the coaching ranks as a WR coach....

Hwey, he's moving up the coaching ranks as a WR coach....

I hope he finds his way back to Columbus someday.

Even if someone transferred, this kid won't see the field. No knock on the kid, but his role is of support and mentoring
