Jerrick Gibson and his future in Texas looks bright

The stars are in favor of Jerrick; he is the No. 2 ranked running back for Texas. He probably chose to hold hands with Texas regardless of the multiple great options that he had because he believes that coach choice matters a lot.

He can polish diamonds, make them shine, and see their worth. He has done it before too by setting a track record of producing NFL players like Bijian Robinson, who is also an RB, just like Jerrick. Bijian was the no. 8 pick for the NFL 2023 draft, enough of a fact to influence Jerrick to make his decision to choose Texas.
