Gibson played the past three years at Kutztown at the NCAA Division II level in the East Coast Conference. After redshirting as a freshman, Gibson played in 26 games across the past two seasons, totaling 1,226 yards and 13 touchdowns on 55 receptions. He also rushed for 95 yards and two scores, both rushing touchdowns coming in 2023. Gibson’s best game last season came at Millersville on Nov. 2, where he tied his season-high in receiving touchdowns (two) to go along with a season-high 88 receiving yards. One of his best career games happened on Sept. 16, 2023, against Mercyhurst, where he went for a career-best 157 yards on four catches, adding a touchdown.
 
“Mekhi Gibson, a slot receiver, a big, big play guy, explosive,” Whitten said. “Great highlight film on this guy, he was a great player at the Division 2 level, and once again, those guys usually play really well at our level. Coming from a winning program there at Kutztown, he’s a really dynamic guy, we think he will step right into that slot position and create a lot of competition in that room. We hope that somebody in that group can pick up where (Benjamin Omayebu) left off.”
 
Gibson is a Trenton, New Jersey, native. He played four varsity years at Ewing High School in Ewing, New Jersey, earning First Team All-Patriotic honors at wide receiver and First Team All-Colonial recognition at running back. Gibson will study sports management at Tarleton State University.
