Gibson Flips to Rutgers, Penn State Reeling | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Aiden Gibson, a four-star running back and Penn State’s top 2027 commitment, has flipped to Rutgers — and is reclassifying to join them this August, skipping his original timeline entirely. This shocking move follows a wave of decommitments for Penn State, including another top recruit Khalil Taylor heading to Nebraska. Gibson, who once praised Penn State as “RBU” and envisioned starring in their offense, now gets an immediate role at Rutgers. His departure — the fourth in the 2027 class and eighth overall since 2025 — stings, especially since he was nationally ranked as a top back. Penn State’s recruiting momentum, once strong in May, is now crumbling as key positions like running back, cornerback, and receiver continue to slip away.
