NC State Defensive Recruits React to Wolfpack Defensive Coordinator Tony Gibson’s New Contract

NC State has signed Defensive Coordinator Tony Gibson to a new 3-year contract worth $1.3 million annually, locking him up through the end of the 2025 season, making him the highest paid DC in the ACC.

I reached out to a handful of NC State’s 2023 Defensive Verbal Commitments to get their thoughts on Gibson’s new contract.

DT Jykeveous Hibbler

Him becoming the highest paid DC in the ACC shows me how great of a DC he is. It makes me happy knowing that I’ll be playing for the best DC in the game.

CB Brandon Cisse

It’s huge. I can’t wait to play for him.

DE Isaiah Shirley 

It’s very comforting to me, and makes me feel special that I will be coached by a great coach and even better man!

LB Kamal Bonner

Good! That means he’s doing something good!

S Daemon Fagan

Means a lot knowing he’ll be there while I’m there.
