WR Torrance Gibson (Green Bay Blizzard)

Would probably end up being our #1 deep threat WR by seasons end if he chooses to split a good portion of his time to WR now. It is not an easy decision however because he would lose some ground to other QBs.

TORRANCE GIBSON'S SNAPS AT WIDE RECEIVER PROVIDES PLENTY OF INTRIGUE FOR OHIO STATE OFFENSE

57573_h.jpg,qitok=UEMBxfMT.pagespeed.ce.aCZh-zkeEj.jpg


Tim Beck knows what it's like to be a new guy in a crowd full of decorated superstars.

Not even two whole days had passed since Ohio State downed Oregon to win the inaugural College Football Playoff in Dallas, and the Buckeyes made the hiring of Beck as their next quarterbacks coach official.

The ex-Nebraska sage and Youngstown, Ohio, native then packed his bags for Columbus. He stepped into a coaches room that included rock stars like Urban Meyer, Ed Warinner, Larry Johnson and Luke Fickell. The pressure was on there to show his worth, and to do so immediately.

In a similar way, 2015 four-star recruit and quick-twitch athlete Torrance Gibson is in a comparable mold as Beck. More than 1,100 miles from his home of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Gibson had to find room in a quarterback room that included Braxton Miller, Cardale Jones, J.T. Barrett, Stephen Collier and Joe Burrow, an Ohioan and fellow true freshman.

If you're keeping track at home, that's a truckload of talent, a national championship, Big Ten title, two Silver Footballs several Heisman Trophy votes and a mess of other victories to go along with them.

Gibson, though, is a talent Meyer had to have as part of his 2015 recruiting class. And as we've come to understand on the recruiting trail, what Meyer wants, Meyer gets.

So he got Gibson, who wanted to play quarterback. Practice started Monday, and Gibson played quarterback.

Great to see he wants to hit the field as a freshman and willing to do whatever it takes. Really hope he keeps to the QB room as much as possible. He looks like he has a cannon and I'd love to see what he can do in some mop up work this year and next. I know he doesn't have much of a chance to start until his junior year (hopefully).

TORRANCE GIBSON'S SWITCH TO WIDE RECEIVER RESULT OF A DESIRE TO CONTRIBUTE AT OHIO STATE IN 2015


57653_h.jpg,qitok=_z_6Cgis.pagespeed.ce.5OPlxZHX52.jpg


When Torrance Gibson signed his National Letter of Intent to attend Ohio State, only one thing was on his mind.

Blessed with outstanding athleticism and a strong arm, Gibson intended to enter an already loaded quarterback room in Columbus. It was all he knew how to do and do well, but it didn't take long before he came to a realization and approached head coach Urban Meyer.

"I told him I want to get on the field. I feel like if I sat on the bench I wouldn't be helping this team, I'd be selfish," Gibson said Sunday at Ohio State Media Day. "That's not the type of guy I am."
