Gipson received his official offer from SMU on May 14 Vype
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.

Critical levers Astros can pull as health concerns, deadline pressures grow

Houston center fielder Jake Meyers was removed from Wednesday night’s game against Cleveland during pregame warmups because of right calf tightness.
Meyers, who had missed the last two games with a right calf injury, jogged onto the field before the game but soon summoned the training staff, who joined him on the field to tend to him. He remained on the field on one knee as manager Joe Espada joined the group. After a couple minutes, Meyers got up and was helped off the field and to the tunnel in right field by a trainer.
Mauricio Dubón moved from shortstop to center field and Zack Short entered the game to replace Dubón at shortstop.
Meyers is batting .308 with three homers and 21 RBIs this season.
After the game, Meyers met with the media and spoke about the injury. Meyers declined to answer when asked if the latest injury feels worse than the one he sustained Sunday. Wow, that is not a good sign.
Asked if this calf injury feels worse than the one he sustained on Sunday, Jake Meyers looked toward a team spokesman and asked "do I have to answer that?" He did not and then politely ended the interview.

Lack of imaging strikes again!
The Athletic's Chandler Rome reported on Thursday that the Astros didn't do any imaging on Meyers after the initial injury. You can't make this stuff up. This is exactly the kind of thing that has the Astros return-to-play policy under constant scrutiny.
The All-Star break is right around the corner, why take the risk in playing Meyers after missing just two games with calf discomfort? The guy literally fell to the ground running out to his position before the game started. The people that make these risk vs. reward assessments clearly are making some serious mistakes.
The question remains: will the Astros finally do something about it?
