According to this tweet from a Tampa Tribune high school sports reporter, Reilly Gibbons is transferring from Stanford to the University of South Florida. Gibbons was a stealth recruit who decommitted from Miami last year.

Best of luck to Gibbons. Too bad that it didn't work out at Stanford. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only the second time since the beginning of the 2011 season that a player has left the program without a degree for a non-medical reason. In light of the fact that he apparently never enrolled at Stanford, will he count against Stanford's FGR and GSR?

He attended summer classes not fall classes.  Big loss

If the heart isn't in it, the soldier won't fight well or at all, the player won't play well, or at all, the kid won't eat broccoli or clean their room well or at all. Whether it was distance, shock of suddenly landing in an atmosphere where he had to draw on his own resources for school and big time football or well, whatever... he wasn't ready or happy. It happens. The weird thing is the summer session works so well to incrementally introduce the kids to Stanford academics and the demands of football. But each is easier than the real thing in the late Summer and Fall. It's designed for successful integration and adaptation, but I guess it also acts to wave off the unready. Good luck to him. Woulda' been a good prospect to develop in our program.

Which walk-on gets his scholarship?

:( Sorry to hear. Hope things work out well for him. Willie Taggart could use the help over there.
