- Title:
- Quality Control/Wide Receivers
Brandon Gibson is in his first year as a quality control specialist for the offense, assisting specifically with the wide receivers, joining Karl Dorrell’s staff on February 2022.
Gibson, 35, came to Colorado from Kentwood (Wash.) High School, where he was the offensive coordinator for the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Previously, he was an assistant coach at Central Washington University, where he coached the wide receivers for three seasons (2017-19).
The Wildcats were the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) champions in 2017 and co-champions in 2018; CWU was 26-8 in his three seasons there and had a prolific offense: averaging 42.8 points (scoring 40 or more points 20 times and 50 or more on 12 occasion), and averaging 502.4 yards on offense (260.2 passing) in the 34 games with him on staff.
Still one of Washington State University’s all-time leading receivers (he was the all-time leader at the conclusion of his playing career), in his four-year career (2005-08) he caught 182 passes for 2,756 yards (15.1 per) with 17 touchdowns. In the 2007 Apple Cup, he caught a 35-yard TD pass with 31 seconds remaining as WSU defeated Washington, 42-35; he had six catches for 137 yards and two scores that game that cemented him into Cougar lore. That was also his best year statistically, catching 67 balls for 1,180 yards with nine touchdowns in earning first-team All-Pacific 10 Conference honors (along with third-team All-American accolades). He also returned 14 punts in his career for an 18.5 average.
Gibson was selected in the sixth round (194th player overall) by Philadelphia in the 2009 NFL Draft. In six seasons in the league, he appeared in 76 regular season games with three teams (Philadelphia, St. Louis and Miami), catching 233 passes for 2,711 yards (11.6 per), with 13 touchdowns and earning 159 first downs.
He finished up his degree after his professional playing days in 2019, earning a bachelor’s in Social Sciences with an emphasis in History for Washington State while he was coaching at CWU.
He was born August 13, 1987 in Landstuhl, Germany; he graduated from John R. Rogers High School in Puyallup, Wash., where he lettered in football, basketball and track. His hobbies include Marvel Comic books, playing basketball and is an avid sneaker collector. An uncle, Vaughn Williams, graduated from Denver’s George Washington High School, played defensive back collegiately at Stanford and in the NFL for the San Francisco 49ers and Indianapolis Colts. He is married to the former Shaina Lawson and the couple has a boy, Isaiah Aaron.
