The Path to Norman

Jayden Gibson, a Florida high school football product, was a long-time Florida commit. When the new staff arrived in Norman, they made Gibson a priority. He went to Norman for an official visit in early December and committed to the Sooners in short order. Gibson rejoined QB Nick Evers, another former Florida commit, and along with Nic Anderson gave the Sooners an impressive freshman receiver class.

Unfortunately, Gibson sustained an injury in fall camp that will keep him out for the season. He’ll use his redshirt year, focus on getting healthy, and plan to return in 2025.
