UCLA Football Backup QB Jackson Gibbs to Transfer to Appalachian State

UCLA Football has lost another player as quarterback Jackson Gibbs, the grandson of legendary Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs, has announced that he is transferring to Appalachian State.

I'm excited to announce that Im transferring to Appalachian State University! I want to thank all my coaches and teammates who've made me a better football player and overall person this past year. I'm going to miss UCLA deeply but pumped to start my new chapter as a mountaineer! pic.twitter.com/6BZyRsreZI

Gibbs was a true freshman in 2017, but, because he saw no action, it would have been a redshirt year for him.
