Westfield dual-threat quarterback Terrance Gipson has found a place that feels like home - SMU.
The 2019 prospect verbally committed to SMU on Sunday after completing his official visit and is excited to be the next Texas-based prospect to join the Ponies.
"I mean, it helps me bring guys with me to play with, but everything SMU is doing at the moment and is trying to build is special," Gipson said.
Gipson talked about new SMU coach Sonny Dykes, who replaced Chad Morris after he exited for Arkansas, and said he's a fun guy to be around and is honest.
Sonny is of course the son of legendary Texas Tech football coach Spike Dykes.
Gipson received his official offer from SMU on May 14.
Gipson's stock has risen in the last few months. Since March, Gipson has received offers from McNeese State, Virginia, Nebraska, Tulane, Louisiana at Lafayette, Georgia State University, Georgia Southern University, Hawaii and Florida Atlantic.
Gipson finished 2017 as the District 16-6A leading passer with 1,478 yards, 14 touchdowns and only one interception in nine games.
The Texans defense came through once again on Sunday, as they were able to hold the Dolphins to just twelve points, helping to secure a 20-12 win for Houston.
Sunday's victory, paired with a Colts loss, also clinched another division title for Houston, which guarantees they'll host a home playoff game. This is significant because Houston has played much better at home, and given some of the NFL's best quarterbacks fits.
However, the offense just hasn't clicked consistently this year, for a variety of reasons.
With all this in mind, how far can this defense take the Texans?
