Get Wimbush or Nunez in the fold, then wait out Gibson??

That would be a great QB haul...

Free Scout - Something special

Plantation American Heritage quarterback Torrance Gibson is something special. Here's part 6 of my thoughts from state title games.

Junior Torrance Gibson is something special. The Plantation American Heritage quarterback helped led his team to a state championship. In blowout fashion they cooked Green Cove Springs Clay 66-8. Gibson took the read option 78 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the game and he was brilliant all afternoon

How does Ohio State's Orange Bowl berth help recruiting? Four-star Florida QB Torrance Gibson is the perfect example: Buckeyes recruiting
“I am going to go to a bowl practice when they are down here,” Gibson said. “I have built a great relationship with Ohio State coaches, and I talk to Urban Meyer, Tom Herman and Mark Pantoni a lot. They are really cool coaches and I can’t wait to see them when they are down here.”

A couple things jump out at me when comparing him to TP: This particular tape is very similar to most of TP's high school film in that you see alot of deep bombs that showcase arm strength, but hardly any short-intermediate throws that require more accuracy, which ended up being one of TP's weak spots early on. The other is they both have explosive playmaking ability with their legs, which apparently is always handy in a pinch.

And the problem with TP was not only his passing but decision making with the ball early on. And that shows on Gibson's tape as well. Both are more inclined to run than check their progressions and be a true qb. Both looked like athletes and not qbs. And that's why Gibson is also being looked at as a wr, much to his own chagrin. Gibson, as did TP, and also Braxton now need a lot of work to become qbs more so than athletes throwing the ball. TP, for as talented as he was, was also a project at qb, which gibson could be too. Because in HS he doesnt need to be a true qb because he's faster and more athletic than most the defenses he's facing. And that was the same issue with TP

With an athletic quarterback, one of the "progressions" is "run". The last thing you want to see is an athletic quarterback looking lost in the pocket, ignoring running lanes, trying to find his fourth receiver.
