Makes most of opportunity Gibson reeled in all four targets for 59 yards during Saturday's 51-7 loss to Wake Forest.

Impact With a lopsided score on the board, Gibson saw a little more run in the second half with ample passing downs. He posted season highs in receptions and yardage, and it was his most in a game since Nov. 25, 2025, when he rolled up 10 grabs for 138 yards in a game for UMass against Bowling Green.

Finds end zone twice in lopsided affair Gibson reeled in all two targets for 36 yards and two touchdowns during Friday's 59-3 win versus Norfolk State.

Impact Gibson's team-best 36 receiving yards weren't terribly impressive, and he was one of just four players with at least two receptions. The Hoos mostly kept it on the ground in the lopsided affair against the Spiders of the FCS. Gibson cashed both of his receptions in for touchdowns, though, which was nice for fantasy managers. He'll look to carry over the momentum into Saturday's game against West Virginia, and there likely will be more opportunities and targets.

Projected as starting wideout Gibson is listed as a starter on the Cavaliers' depth chart, Jacquie Franciulli of 247Sports reports.

Impact Even though Gibson is not projected to be the Cavaliers' primary slot, he is their top X receiver. So, should that come to fruition in 2026, the wideout has a legitimate chance to match the 2025 production that he logged from Massachusetts, even though a subsequent transfer to Virginia would pose difficulties. Last year, Gibson logged 63 receptions (on 105 targets) for 616 yards, 9.8 averaged per catch.

70 yards in tough loss Gibson six catches for 70 yards during Saturday's 21-3 defeat against Western Michigan.

Impact The Minutemen were unable to get much going offensively in the tough loss, but Gibson was one of the only bright spots in the team's efforts. The 5-foot-11 wide receiver has been riddled by some mediocre games in the recent weeks, so the 70-yard performance was a move in the right direction. He'll aim to stay involved at Kent State this upcoming Saturday.

OCTOBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to 30 yards in loss Gibson reeled in 6 of 12 targets for 30 yards during Saturday's 42-6 defeat to Missouri.

Totals 89 yards in loss Gibson hauled in 7 of 11 targets for 89 yards during Saturday's 27-26 defeat versus Bryant.

Impact Gibson was the leading receiver for the minutemen in the close loss to the Bulldogs, totalling 11 targets. The 5-foot-11 pass catcher's increase in looks could've been due to WR1 T.Y. Harding (undisclosed) being on a limited snap count, but the pair should still garner a lot of targets moving forward. Gibson and UMass will take on Iowa this upcoming Saturday.

Impact UMass went down early and had to play catchup for the entirety of the game, which was beneficial for Gibson's usage. The redshirt senior wide receiver had eight more catches than the next highest on his team and 102 more receiving yards. This inflated stat-line likely won't stick against a better matched team, but Gibson showed that he's able to compete no matter the circumstances.
