Gilbert may be described in one word: tough. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound prospect loves contact and refuses to go down after the catch.

Gilbert is a great raw multisport athlete who made an impact all over the field last season. He played both running back and wide receiver and flashed at both spots. He’s got good speed and vision with the ball in his hands, and he was just as effective working outside as a downfield target. He finished the year with 352 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns to go along with 39 catches for 502 yards and 8 scores. Whether he was taking handoffs or stretching the field, he found ways to produce. There’s real versatility here, and he’s only getting started.

Gilbert is a versatile piece in the Beford Lawrence North offense in both the rushing and receiving game. He carried the ball just under 50 times and averaged 7.7 yards per carry. He didn’t waste his touches, to say the least. He then caught 39 balls for 502 yards and added 7 TDs. Gilbert’s 850 scrimmage yards and 9 TDs on the season certainly helped and showcased he can touch the ball a ton and have success. He’s fairly smooth and has a good IQ, so year 3 should be his time to shine.

Gilbert is a really good athlete who brings a lot of versatility to the offense. He finished the year with 39 catches for 502 yards through the air and added another 352 on the ground.

Whether he’s lined up out wide, in the slot, or getting touches out of the backfield, he’s a threat to make something happen. He’s smooth in space, tough after the catch, and just finds ways to produce. With the way he was used this past season, he should be an even bigger part of the offense moving forward.
