Seasons so close, but not much to talk about.... ESPN is putting together a list of 50 players that could have breakout years. Deonte Gibson was #48.
48. Deonte Gibson, DE, Northwestern
Gibson, a fifth-year senior, has shown promise over the course of a career held back by injuries. Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said Gibson will have that long-awaited big season, provided he is able to stay on the field.
"I really do [believe that]," Fitzgerald said. "He's had an awesome offseason. He's up to 270 pounds. He's physical and he's as healthy as he's been since he got to campus."
With continued progress from senior Dean Lowry and junior Ifeadi Odenigbo, Fitzgerald said Gibson could be dangerous as "that guy who gets a single block that people forget about."
