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

Aiden Gibson, a top-ranked four-star running back from South Carolina, shocks the recruiting world by flipping his commitment from Penn State to Rutgers—and enrolling a year early in August 2025. His decision, which bypasses powerhouse SEC schools like Florida and his home state, signals Rutgers’ rising appeal in the Big Ten. For Penn State, losing Gibson—a physical, fast, and versatile back—stings, especially as they scramble to replace him before the 2026 season. With elite recruiting on the line, Penn State must now hustle to land another elite RB quickly, proving their depth and adaptability in a fluid recruiting landscape.
