Colorado coach Deion Sanders has continued to give Quentin Gibson opportunities during fall camp, and the second-year receiver said he expects to build on the return work that made him one of the Buffaloes’ more productive freshmen last season.Gibson, listed at 5-foot-9 and 155 pounds, played in all 12 games as a true freshman in 2025 and made two starts. His offensive numbers were modest, with 15 catches for 71 yards, but he became Colorado’s primary kickoff returner and finished second in the Big 12 with 597 return yards and a 23.9-yard average.Apr 19, 2025; Boulder, CO, USA; Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver Quentin Gibson (15) during the spring game at Folsom Field.

He also drew attention during the first week of camp when he turned a short reception from quarterback Julian Lewis into a touchdown after making a defender miss in the open field.Gibson looks to expand his roleGibson arrived at Colorado with a reputation for producing big plays in different ways. He was the 2024 MaxPreps National Player of the Year at North Crowley High School, where he helped lead the Panthers to a 16-0 record and a Texas Class 6A state championship.During his senior season, Gibson recorded 2,009 receiving yards and 36 receiving touchdowns. He also ran for scores, threw a touchdown pass and returned a punt for a touchdown while accounting for 40 total touchdowns. His performance in the state title game included seven catches for 181 yards and three touchdowns, earning him offensive MVP honors.Colorado brought him in as a receiver with the ability to contribute immediately on special teams, and he made an impact there in his first season. Gibson handled 25 kickoff returns, recorded four punt returns and started the season opener against Georgia Tech, becoming the fourth true freshman in program history to start a season opener.Sacramento State Hornets head coach Brennan Marion listens to one of the assistant coaches yell at players on Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025, at Dana J.

New offensive coordinator Brennan Marion’s Go-Go system is expected to move players around the formation and create space for receivers who can make defenders miss after the catch.Gibson has worked with a deeper receiver room this fall, including Texas transfer DeAndre Moore Jr., San Jose State transfer Danny Scudero, Miami (Ohio) transfer Kam Perry and Sacramento State transfer Ernest Campbell. Joseph Williams has also returned after missing spring practice while recovering from a leg injury.That competition has not changed Gibson’s approach. He said he wants to continue showing that he can contribute on offense and special teams.Quentin Gibson says he’s going to have a big season this year.“I’m gonna show you all a lot more than last year, that was just a glimpse.”On what he can do better as a returner.“Just trusting my blocks more, if I see a hole, just hit it.” pic.twitter.com/DR9OXuwVvm— Jake Schwanitz (@JakeDNVR) August 11, 2026Return game remains a focusTennessee defensive back Boo Carter (23) moves the ball during an NCAA college football game against ETSU
