Laurence Gibson brought NFL-level size, power, and versatility to Virginia Tech’s line
Laurence Gibson was a 6-foot-6, 297-pound redshirt senior OL for Virginia Tech in the 2014 season, and his calling card was clear: length, athletic ability, and power that helped him start five games at right tackle and post 34 knockdowns while earning Iron Hokie honors in summer testing[2][10]. He also had position versatility, with experience at tackle and guard, which made him a useful fit for teams needing line depth rather than just a plug-and-play starter[10][13]. He later became a 2015 NFL Draft pick, which reinforces that his frame and traits translated beyond college[3][11].
