Early life

Born in San Bernardino, California and raised in Dallas, Texas, Gipson was a three-sport star at Kimball High School in Dallas, playing football and basketball while also running track. [1] [2] He had an outstanding career and especially an outstanding senior year on the gridiron as he was named the Most Valuable Player of the 4A District 14 Dallas City League and also earned First Team All-District honors both as a cornerback and as a returner. On defense, Gipson made 35 tackles, broke up nine passes and recovered two fumbles. On offense and special teams, he accumulated more than 1,400 all-purpose yards and scored 14 touchdowns while serving as an offensive team captain. During his career, Gipson played quarterback, wide receiver, free safety and also returned punts and kicks. He was recruited by Baylor, Louisville, Fresno State and Idaho. [1]

College career

Gipson chose to attend the University of Wyoming not only for the chance at early playing time, but also in order to play with his brother Marcell. At Wyoming, both brothers played cornerback from 2008 to 2010 for the Wyoming Cowboys football team. 2011 proved to be Gipson's best statistically with 95 total tackles (73 solo 22 assist) with 0.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and three interceptions. During his senior season, Tashaun started the season by playing at the cornerback position, but for the final eight games of the season, he played at the safety position. [3] Gipson had three interceptions as sophomore in 2009 and three as a junior in 2010. As a freshman, Tashaun did not have any interceptions. However, along with Marcell, the Gipson brothers both tied for the team lead in passes defensed with 10 each. [1] Gipson started every game of his collegiate career at Wyoming.
