A staple of the Wyoming Cowboys and the Mountain West Conference over the last several years, Easton Gibbs now looks to make his move to the pro game.  Considered one of the Group of Five's top linebackers, Gibbs also earned a reputation as high-effort defender and a sure tackler. Here's what else to keep in mind about the former Cowboy standout throughout his NFL Draft process. Measurements: 6'0" - 232 pounds A native of Temecula, California, Gibbs was a two-star recruit coming out of high school. He played quarterback in addition to moving between linebacker and safety at that level. Gibbs was one of the leaders of the Wyoming defense by the time he was a redshirt freshman in 2020. He had the third-most tackles on the team (42) in a season shortened by COVID-19. He posted 18 games with a tackle count in the double digits. He was a first-team All-Mountain West selection in both 2022 and 2023 and was an Honorable Mention in 2021. In each of his final two seasons with the Cowboys, Gibbs had over 100 tackles.
