Standing in the locker room of University of Phoenix Stadium with a pair of Beats headphones resting atop a Fiesta Bowl Champions cap, Ohio State's Torrance Gibson rehashed one of the more difficult periods of his life.
"This season, it was a little bit difficult with the ankle injury," he said. "Then having to bounce back."
Gibson was a huge part of Urban Meyer's 2015 recruiting class, an extremely highly touted athlete out of South Florida that spurned the southern schools to suit up for the man who won the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship. He played quarterback at Heritage High School, amassing ridiculous numbers that included a staggering 72 career touchdowns.
