Analysis: Specific value at the position for committed team is one of the criteria the Premium Prospect Board is based on. Gibson's commitment to Ohio State certainly checks that box. Gibson, who reminds us of Auburn's Nick Marshall, has the dynamic skill set Urban Meyer covets in his offensive system. It might take some time to develop as a passer in Columbus, but his athleticism makes him a difference-maker and we would not be surprised if his running skills are used in offensive packages next fall.
