Rabun County junior Jaden Gibson became the state’s first player with more than 1,000 yards receiving this season when he logged his second 200-yard game last week in a 63-0 victory over Banks County.
Gibson had 11 receptions for 236 yards and two touchdowns against Banks. The main target of all-state quarterback Gunner Stockton, Gibson is on pace for 1,503 yards receiving for the regular season.
A state record also is within sight. In 2018, Warner Robins’ Marcayll Jones had 1,494 yards receiving in the regular season and 2,046 total, the most in state history.
Gibson and the Wildcats return home to take on the Elbert County Blue Devils on Oct. 22 in Week 10 of high school football action.
