Torrance Gibson was one of the most coveted high school prospects during the 2015 recruiting cycle, but when it came time to make his collegiate choice, he spurned SEC schools such as Auburn and Tennessee because he wanted to play quarterback for Urban Meyer and Ohio State.
With blazing 4.4 speed and a 6'4", 205-pound frame, a lot of coaches pitched Gibson their vision to play wide receiver. It was a tantalizing thought—with his game-breaking speed and off-the-charts athleticism, he could be a matchup nightmare on the perimeter and especially in the red zone.
He signed with Ohio State, though, because the staff recruited him as a signal-caller, and he reported to fall camp as a part of a deep stable of Buckeyes quarterbacks.
