Gibson visited Boulder in the fall and had a great experience with the program.

"My first official visit was to Colorado a couple of weeks ago," he said (via On3). "It was a fun visit and it was exciting to see their atmosphere. The coaches were telling me how I would fit in the scheme and be able to replace some of their top guys."
