NICK GIBSON RB, 5-11/192, PINSON VALLEY, ALA.
VISIT RECAP: One of the top running backs in the South for the class of 2015 with offers from the Vols, Mississippi State and South Carolina, Gibson left Knoxville very high on the Vols. After his visit, Gibson told Volquest.com that Tennessee is at the top of the list for his services along with instate school Alabama. Although he grew up an Alabama fan, he said he knows just because he was a fan growing up doesn't mean it's the right place for him as a school. He's known Tommy Thigpen since he started high school and that should help the Vols in this one.
QUOTABLE: "It was great. The place looked beautiful. The coaching staff was nice. It really felt like a place I could play at. They treated me and my family nice, the coaching staff. I do like it up there at Tennessee. I like their academics and they have a good football program. It's going to be hard to beat Tennessee. But, I'd say Alabama and Tennessee are tied."
