Torrance Gibson has committed to Ohio State over scholarship offers from Miami, LSU, Arizona and many other schools.

Gibson made his second trip to Columbus in two months in late September when he made an official visit to Ohio State. Since that time the Buckeyes have been Gibson’s big leader and today he made his intentions known.

After receiving his U.S. Army All-American Game jersey in a ceremony at his high school, Gibson officially announced he has committed to Ohio State.

"Great academics," Gibson told 247Sports recruiting analyst Luke Stampini when asked about Ohio State. "Moving football to the side they have a great academic program. Business - that's what I want to study when I get to college. And (Ohio State) has a great coaching staff."

In addition to his official visit to Ohio State, Gibson also attended Urban Meyer’s Friday Night Lights camp on July 25. It was on that weekend that signs began to point to Gibson eventually picking the Buckeyes.

When asked when he made his decision, Gibson told Stampini it came in the last two weeks.

"I prayed about it, my mom prayed about it, everyone prayed about it," Gibson said. "I made this decision about two weeks ago, a week ago."

The 6-foot-4 and 200-pound Gibson led American Heritage to a state championship his junior season. He completed 89 of 158 passes (.563%) for 1,864 yards. Gibson connected for 19 touchdowns with just three interceptions. Gibson also rushed for 1,032 yards on just 105 carries, averaging 9.83 yards per attempt. He had 10 touchdowns.

Gibson had 315 all-purpose yards in the 5A state championship game, a 66-8 American Heritage victory over Green Cove Springs Clay.

Gibson has led American Heritage to a 6-3 record so far this season. He has completed 75 of 160 passes for 1,236 yards and 12 touchdowns with just one interception. He has rushed for 675 yards and eight touchdowns on 101 carries.

Gibson has thrived in the American Heritage offense and could be a great fit in Meyer’s Ohio State spread offense.

Gibson is the second quarterback in the Buckeyes’ 2015 recruiting class joining Athens (Ohio) standout Joe Burrow who committed to Ohio State in May.

Gibson is a 4-star prospect in the 247Sports Composite. He is the country’s No. 45 overall prospect, the No. 3 athlete, and the No. 11 prospect in the state of Florida.

Gibson is commitment No. 19 in the Buckeyes’ 2015 recruiting class, a class that is expected to number at least 22 come National Signing Day.
