Gipson Aims to Elevate Howard Payne Despite 2025 Gauntlet

Coby Gipson is driven, focused, and determined, which will likely spell doom for Howard Payne’s opponents. He is not, however, naive. He understands the challenge facing the Yellow Jackets in the American Southwest Conference in 2025.

“You have to operate on the fact that pressure is a privilege, and you talk about the gauntlet we face with our schedule in 2025, where 60 percent of our games are against elite universities. But we are like-minded with those universities,” Gipson said. “I think that gets overlooked and isn’t discussed enough. We are all on the same mission as universities.”
