Early life

[edit]

Gilbert made his first high school start forLake Travisduring his sophomore year in the 2006Texas Football Classic,where he led the Cavaliers to a 41–34 victory over Texas City.

Gilbert guided Lake Travis to the 2007 TexasUILClass 4A Division II State Championship. Upon completing the 2007 season, he broke state records for completions (359), pass attempts (555) and yards (4,827).[2]

Prior to his senior season, Gilbert learned Morris' offense.[2]

On top of the coaching change, Gilbert had to undergo minorshouldersurgery, from which he took five months to recover. He was not able to lift weights during the five-month period, and instead performed rehabilitation exercises. Gilbert recovered in time to play the first game of the 2008 season.[2]

College recruitment

[edit]

Gilbert verbally committed to playcollege footballfor theTexasLonghornson February 7, 2008, the day after he received the offer in the mail.[13]He always had aspirations to play for Texas since he was a child. During his youth, he pretended to play football for the Longhorns, passing the football to himself in his living room and diving onto the couch to catch it. When he was eight, he had the chance to play catch with then-Texas quarterbackMajor Applewhite,whom he considered to be his idol growing up. His family members were also season ticket holders.[2]

Gilbert was rated as a five-star prospect byRivals.com.[14]AlongsideMatt BarkleyofMater Dei High SchoolinCalifornia,Gilbert was the premier quarterback prospect of the class of 2009. Former college head coachJackie Sherrillcalled Gilbert the best quarterback he has seen sinceDan Marino.[15]

College career

[edit]

2009 season

[edit]

It was at first thought that Gilbert would likely redshirt in 2009 and compete for the starting job in 2010. However, since former backup quarterbackJohn Chileswas moved towide receiver,Gilbert competed with Sherrod Harris for the backup job during the off-season. On August 23, 2009, Gilbert became the second-string quarterback as a true freshman, in front of the junior Harris.

In the 2009 season opener againstLouisiana-Monroe,Gilbert lined up behind center during the fourth quarter and drove the Longhorns down the field, completing four-of-five passes for 46 yards, before scoring a twelve-yard rushingtouchdownon a quarterback draw play to end the drive.[25]

On January 7, 2010, in theBCS National Championship Game,Gilbert replaced the injuredColt McCoy.Gilbert completed 15-of-40 passes for 186 yards, two touchdowns, and fourinterceptions.One analyst took the position that his stat line did not reflect how well he actually played (even though he was responsible for five turnovers – the four interceptions and a lostfumble), and that several of his passes that should have been caught were dropped.[26]Gilbert led the Longhorns to two scoring drives in the second half to spark a comeback, bringing the score to 24–21Alabama.However, the comeback ultimately fell short late in the game with a turnover inside the Texas five–yard line. The Longhorns lost the game 37–21.[27]

2010 season

[edit]

Gilbert was the starting quarterback during 2010 season. He led the team to a 5–7 record, Texas' first losing season since1997.[28]Against Kansas State, he threw for 5 interceptions as the Longhorns lost by a score of 39–14. In that game, Kansas State also only attempted four passes.[29]Soon after that year's bowl season,Mack Brownannounced that every job was up for grabs, leaving Gilbert to compete with sophomoresCase McCoyand Conner Wood, as well as freshmanDavid Ash.[citation needed]

2011 season

[edit]

On August 29, it was announced that Gilbert would retain the starting position in the season opener againstRice.[30]However, on September 12, it was announced that he was being demoted to the second-string quarterback behind Case McCoy and Ash, who would share the starting position. On September 20, it was announced that Gilbert underwent successful surgery on hisshoulderand was ruled out the remainder of the season.[31]

Gilbert was granted his unconditional release from Texas on October 5, allowing him the opportunity to seek a transfer.[32]Later that day, he was seen atSouthern Methodist University(SMU), watching thefootball teampractice.[33]He completed hisdegreeat Texas and transferred to SMU for the 2012 season.[34]

2012 season

Gilbert won the starting job at SMU, where he ranJune Jones'srun and shoot offense.[35]He began the season with an inconsistent performance atBaylor,throwing two interceptions in the 59–24 loss.[36]

As the season progressed, Gilbert gained confidence, completing four touchdown passes againstHoustonen route to a 72–42 win, a game which set the SMU record for points in a game.[37]He had his best game of the season the following week againstMemphis,throwing for 353 yards with one passing touchdown and two rushing touchdowns.[38]Overall, he finished the 2012 season with 2,932 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions.[39]
