It's late in the process for a top prospect like Gibson, and also provided the fact that Texas holds multiple Clairvoyance estimates along with being greater than a 90% favorite per On3, the Tigers are dealing with an uphill struggle with a great deal of ground to compose.

Still, it's clear that Brian Kelly isn't one to shy away from hiring fights for elite potential customers.
