Sean Gibbs wants to go to Ole Miss. He’s just not sure if he wants to play football there.

The Vicksburg High tight end, the most coveted prospect in Warren County this recruiting season, said Tuesday that he is wavering on whether or not his future will include football. He is considering going to school just to pursue his education and may not sign with a college today, the first day high school football players may do so.

“It’s just a personal decision,” Gibbs said. “I’m trying to see if I should continue with football or just go along with the academic life.”

Gibbs said Tuesday afternoon that it was “50-50” whether he would sign today. If he does sign, it will probably be with Ole Miss. He has relatives that attended the school, including former Ole Miss safety Paul Winfield, and liked the overall feel of the campus on his visit there. The Rebels won out over Mississippi State, Memphis and Southern Miss.

If Gibbs doesn’t sign today, he said it might be a couple of weeks before he makes a final decision.

“Maybe early March,” said Gibbs, who caught 28 passes for 451 yards and five touchdowns in two seasons as a starter for Vicksburg. “I won’t hold off any longer than that.”

Gibbs has the ACT score and has been taking classes at Tallulah High school to raise his GPA, similar to what former Gator Rory Johnson did last year.

Johnson signed with Mississippi State and eventually landed at Hinds Community College after failing to become eligible, but Gibbs said going to a junior college would be a last resort. He still has the desire to play football, but would give it up if it came down to making a choice between that and getting an education at a four-year school.
