Jason Gibson

Some schools like Gibson as a linebacker because of his tremendous speed but he has a good sized frame (6-foot-2, 210 pounds) and looks much more comfortable playing with his hand down right now. On the recruiting front, Gibson hasn't set up any of his official visits yet but has a good idea where he wants to go.

"Right now, I'm completing the clearinghouse first before I set up any trip dates," Gibson said. "I think my first visit will be to Oregon though. I like what I've seen from them so far this season and I'm definitely interested in them.

"My other visits will be to Cal and Miami and maybe Washington. I've been to UCLA a lot lately and I'm thinking that could be my final visit. Those are the main schools I'm looking at right now."

Back in the spring, Gibson gave some thought to committing early with Cal being the likely destination but he's planning to go through the recruiting process with no plans for an early decision.

"Right now, I just want to watch how all these teams do during the season," Gibson said. "I want to see how their defenses look, the direction the program is going in and just how well would I fit in there.

Yet another top tier LB planning on visiting us.

At least USC looks to be out it for him at this point. It's nice that Oregon has peaked his interest a bit with their early play.

Smart man by waiting and not making a hurried decision to play for Cal. Hopefully we can smash Cal this year to put a positive impression on Gibson.

There's the definitive statement, most of top recruits want to go to a consistent winner.... GO DUCKS !

Seems like one of the few recruits that is actually considering that and not just where they'll get the most playing time right away.

Another update from Greg Biggins http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?nam ... id=5734176

Four-star Jason Gibson (Gardena, Calif./Serra), who officially visited Cal officially three weeks ago, and has set up his second official visit.

Gibson is one of the elite pass rushers in the West and could play outside linebacker or defensive end at the next level. He's being recruited at both spots and said he's fine with either position.

Gibson visited Cal for Homecoming in early October and loved his time in Berkeley.

"I seriously thought about committing," Gibson said. "It was a great visit and I had so much fun. I visited Cal in the summer so I already knew a lot about the school but I got to spend a lot of time with the players and coaches and just enjoyed every minute of it.

"Cal is great academically and that means a lot. I like the defense they run and I think it would be a good fit for me. They like me as an outside 'backer in their 3-4 scheme so I would still be able to rush the passer but also play in space and use my athletic ability as well."

Next up for Gibson is a visit to the Oregon Ducks.

"I'll be there for their game with Washington," Gibson said. "It's supposed to be a big weekend and there's a lot of players coming in so I'm looking forward to it. Oregon is rolling right now and is the top team in the country. I've never been there before so I'm excited to see the place up close and learn more about them."

Gibson said he's still looking at Washington, UCLA and Miami with the Bears sitting at the top of his list right now.

Sounds good about his views on Oregon but everything else he said about Cal makes me believe he'll end up there.

Not in the article:

"I played X-box with Tosh [Lupoi]. He is an awesome guy and is really good at Madden. We also played Halo. Tosh said that he holds weekly Madden tournaments. I seriously considered committing."

Kenny Rowe anyone?

[Supreme]

I can see it happening. A package deal of Farmer, Lee, and Gibson. Please God, give the Ducks their recruiting day.

[SteelTown43]

If we put on a show the next two weeks I think we will get all three.

[gofightingducks]

I can't imagine the Ducks lose out on many guys they are currently high on if they continue to win and stay #1 in the country. If Oregon plays in and wins the NC I am willing to bet they close out the recruiting season on a very high note and finish with the best class ever and probably get a lot of early commits for next season's recruiting class as well. I just hope the guys stay focused and injury free because if they can they are fully capable of winning every game.

I think even if Oregon just gets to any BCS game this season, they'll get a top 20 class.
