Three Star Running Back Commits

With signing day fast approaching, the Toledo Rockets have added another three star prospect, this time in Trotwood-Madison running back Antwan Gilbert. Gilbert is ranked the #39 running back prospect in the country by Scout.com and the #13 all-purpose back prospect in the country by Rivals.com. He committed to Toledo over offers from Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Indiana, Louisville, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, and West Virginia.

The 5-11, 185 pound Gilbert has 4.43 speed. As a junior in the fall of 2009, Gilbert had 2,531 yards rushing and 34 total touchdowns, earning Southwest District Division II Co-Offensive Player of the Year and First-Team All-State honors. Then as a senior in 2010 he rushed for 2,291 yards. Gilbert rushed for 5,731 yards in his high school career.

Antwan capped his high school career by rushing for 174 yards and a touchdown, as well as a 45 yard punt return for a touchdown, in the Division II State Finals, a 45-33 loss for Trotwood-Madison.

He has been recruited to Toledo as a running back, and looks to have the potential to be another great running back in a long line of great backs at Toledo.
