Nation's top dual-threat quarterback Torrance Gibson calls Auburn offense 'perfect fit'
Torrance Gibson
Torrance Gibson is rated by multiple recruiting services as the nation's top dual-threat quarterback for the class of 2015
Auburn recently hosted the nation's most highly sought-after dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2015 for an unofficial visit and the five-star recruit came away impressed with what he saw.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida star Torrance Gibson visited Auburn on March 25 as part of an extensive tour of the Southeast during his spring break. Gibson said he the visit left him feeling positive about the Tigers.
"I got a chance to see the campus, the dorms, the facilities, and meet with the coaches and players," Gibson said of the visit. "Everything was really impressive. I got along great with everybody."
Gibson, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound dual-threat quarterback rated the nation's best at his position by the 247Composite ranking, said he talked at length with Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn about the Tigers' offense and how he would fit in.
"They really liked everything about my game," Gibson said. "Coach Malzahn said I remind him a lot of Cam Newton and said he thinks I could do very similar things to what Cam did in the Auburn offense. I really think the offense would be kind of a perfect fit for me."
Gibson said he plans to take a return visit to Auburn at some point this spring though he has not yet set up a date. Gibson had originally planned to visit Alabama as well but ultimately decided against taking that visit.
"I ended up deciding that Alabama isn't really a good fit for me with what they like to do on offense," Gibson said.
After taking visits to Auburn as well as Oklahoma, LSU, Clemson, Tennessee and Florida during his spring break road trip across the country, Gibson said he is working on narrowing down his list of favorites.
"I plan on cutting it down to a top five, which I will be announcing on May 5," Gibson said. "I have taken a few visits and will probably take a few more and then I'll be ready to start focusing on my favorites."
Gibson is rated the No. 13 overall prospect in the nation by the 247Composite rankings. As a junior, he passed for 1,789 yards and 19 touchdowns with three interceptions while rushing for 1,063 yards and 10 touchdowns.
