Thaddeus Gibson to declare for NFL Draft

ESPN is reporting that Thaddeus Gibson is going to forgo his senior season and declare for the NFL draft. The following is from ESPN.com

Gibson likely will make an official announcement Tuesday afternoon. According to a source, he met with Buckeyes head coach Jim Tressel and co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell on Monday to finalize the decision.

The 6-2, 240-pound Gibson played some outside linebacker at Ohio State but eventually transitioned to defensive end and came on strong during Big Ten play in 2008. He earned second-team All-Big Ten honors this fall after leading the Buckeyes with 13 tackles for a loss and ranking second in sacks with 4. Gibson also had two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and an interception.

We’ll certainly miss him next year but wish him the best.
