4-Star RB Flips to Rutgers, Reclassifies as 2026 Prospect
Aiden Gibson, a 6'1", 215-pound four-star running back from Woodruff, SC, flipped his commitment from Penn State to Rutgers and reclassified into the 2026 cycle, enrolling in August 2026[1][2]. During his junior season, he rushed for 1,611 yards and 21 touchdowns on 205 carries, showcasing elite power and a fearless lower-shoulder style that defines his differentiator[5][9]. Ranked #12 RB nationally in the 2027 class and #229 overall, Gibson brings ideal size, explosive intensity, and a top-10 class pedigree to Rutgers[1][3]. His intensity level is unmatched, and while no injury history is reported, his aggressive playing style demands careful load management. He’s a high-fit prospect for any team seeking a physical, big-play RB with national ranking credibility and immediate enrollment potential.
