He has battled through ankle and back injuries in his three-year career and has 85 games (77 starts) under his belt as he enters his senior season. He is a prototypical floor general who is respected by his teammates. As an example of his leadership qualities, Gibson was UTSA’s representative to the 2009 NCAA Leadership Foundation Conference.

Community

He has been a leader in the UTSA basketball team’s community-service projects, which include helping with the annual move-in day (student-athletes help new dorm residents move belongings into their rooms each August), speaking engagements at local elementary and middle school and visits to local hospitals (BAMC Burn Unit for injured U.S. soldiers, San Antonio Children’s Hospital, etc.).
