Jonathan Gipson
DB Jonathan Gipson of Hoschton, GA was among the visitors at USC’s junior day last Saturday and the Gamecocks sit high up on his list along with Auburn and Minnesota. He also has offers from Oregon State, Indiana, North Carolina, Georgia Southern and Georgia State.
Gipson said he got a chance to watch the Gamecocks practice, meet with the coaches and check out the facilities, and it all left a positive impression on him.
“It was great experience. I was able to to meet a lot more players on the roster. I had a chance to talk with Coach Muschamp. I had a great photo shoot in the locker room. What stood out the most to me was the way South Carolina was competing on the first day of practice.”
During the practice Gipson said he kept a close eye on the safeties and defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson to gauge the interaction and their relationship.
“I think I’ll definitely have a chance to earn a spot at the free safety position and play a lot in the slot in nickel package. Coach T-Rob does a great job coaching them kids. He is very passionate about the game so he pours a lot into the kids on the field. Their secondary is talented but a little smaller in size, but will make plays.”
Gipson will visit North Carolina this weekend and Auburn on March 11th.
