"Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity."
— Lou Holtz
Former University of Notre Dame head football coach
Some say adversity builds character; other people say adversity reveals character. When facing adversity you generally have two choices; let it destroy you, or let it strengthen and define you. For the University of South Alabama's Jimmie Gipson III, the previous two seasons have definitely provided adverse situations, yet the senior defensive end is back looking to make a lasting impact during the 2017 season.
Throughout much of his life, Gipson has worked to overcome many different obstacles.
