2015 American Heritage (Fla.) QB Torrance Gibson is well aware of the stigma that has surrounded the Patriots for the past two years and he plans on changing it with this years playoffs.
“We’re very serious because everyone is doubting us and expecting us to lose. Heritage has a reputation for losing in the first round; so we have to show that we’re not that team anymore, we are an upscale team and we’re just preparing.”
Gibson was a back up last year for the Patriots and a year later some have called him one of the best dual threat quarterbacks in the nation.
“It’s amazing. I remember last year just watching Tyler Cogswell (Former Heritage QB) and he’s a great quarterback and they’re ranking me higher than he was. It’s a blessing and I’m thankful for it.”
The Patriots are 11-1 and rolling after pummeling Cardinal Gibbons (Fla.) in the first round by a score of 71-24. Head Coach and former Miami Hurricane Mike Rumph has done a terrific job with the team and the 6’3 190 pound quarterback commented on him.
“He’s like us, he knows what we’re going through. He knows his players, when they’re hurting and what’s going on with their families. That’s what I like about coach Rumph and everyone is comfortable around him.”
Colleges from all around the country have been in contact with the American Heritage product and he’s got a few that are sticking out.
“Ohio State, Miami, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Clemson, Florida State, and LSU.”
Gibson claims no leaders at the moment, but did talk about two schools in particular: Miami and Ohio State.
“With Miami, they have been recruiting me since I was in the 8th grade. I know coach Golden, he’s an awesome coach. They have great tradition at Miami, a great program and Miami’s the best Florida school I’ve been to so far. I haven’t been to any other Florida schools yet, but they’re the best right now.”
Gibson does admit the fact that the ‘Canes have been on his trail for so long does mean a lot to him.
“Oh yeah, when somebody has been recruiting you since the 8th grade it means they want you bad and you can tell.”
The Buckeyes are one of the many other schools after the highly ranked 2015 signal caller and he is intrigued by a lot of things the #3 ranked team in the country has to offer.
“They have a great offensive coordinator in Tom Herman and Urban Meyer is a great coach. He’s been doing that since he was with the Gators and now he’s doing it with Ohio State and he hasn’t lost a game. They have a great program there and they run the spread offense which I love, but it’s a great program.”
The dual threat quarterback has been invited to both the Under-Armour All-American game as well as the US Army All-American game.
When asked what will play a key factor into his decision Gibson said, “Education first, I want to go there for an education. Second, is the school going to fit me?, the offense, the campus, coaching staff. Just a school that will fit me.”
