Introducing the 2024 Star-Telegram Player of the Year: North Crowley WR Quentin Gibson
Introducing the 2024 Star-Telegram Player of the Year: North Crowley wide receiver Quentin Gibson.
Gibson had 2,009 receiving yards on 93 receptions and totaled 38 touchdowns in a spectacular breakout senior season. He powered North Crowley to a Class 6A Division I state championship, helping the Panthers average 54 points per game.
After tallying 506 receiving yards in the first three games, his recruiting stock skyrocketed, and high-profile Division 1 programs took notice. Although many schools missed the window with Gibson’s profile rising during his senior season, he still received offers from Kansas State, Memphis, Oklahoma State, SMU, Colorado TCU and more.
Gibson committed to Colorado, choosing the Buffaloes over the TCU Horned Frogs. He thrived when the spotlight was brightest, tallying 107 yards and a touchdown vs. Duncanville and 180 yards and four touchdowns vs. DeSoto.
With a 5-foot-9, 165-pound frame, he consistently found ways to one-up himself with highlight plays, showing elite speed, hands, balance, vertical and more. North Crowley head coach Ray Gates said there is no limit to his ability, calling him “superhuman.”
In the state championship, Gibson had 181 yards and three touchdowns en route to Offensive MVP honors.
With just three stars to his name, Gibson was named the Max Preps National Player of the Year. Derrick Henry, Kyler Murray, Bryce Young, Jaxson Dart, Caleb Downs and D.J. Lagway are past award winners. Gibson is the second wide receiver to ever be named Max Preps Player of the Year.
Gibson finished with the ninth most receiving yards and the fourth most receiving touchdowns in Texas’ history. He is the second consecutive North Crowley athlete to be named the Star-Telegram’s Player of the Year. In 2023, Quarterback Chris Jimerson Jr. received the honor.
