TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State offensive lineman Dillan Gibbons is one of six members of the 2021 Uplifting Athletes Rare Disease Champion Team, it was announced Tuesday. Gibbons was recognized for his relationship with Timothy Donovan, who was born with VACTERL, a disorder that impacts multiple body systems, and also was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a disease that causes nerve damage in the arms and legs. The pair developed a close relationship after meeting following a game in South Bend during Gibbons’ freshman season when Gibbons gave Donovan his gloves from the game. Donovan and his family attended multiple FSU games this season after Gibbons transferred from Notre Dame for his final two seasons of eligibility. This season, Gibbons started 11 games at left guard and earned honorable-mention All-ACC recognition. He was a consistent presence on an offensive line that had eight different starting combinations in 12 games, helping the Seminoles top 200 yards rushing in six games and produce a 100-yard rusher seven times. Gibbons was named ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week, FSU’s first since 2016, following Florida State’s 35-25 win at North Carolina. In that game, Gibbons played all 54 offensive snaps as the offensive line did not allow a sack for the first time since 2019 and blocked as FSU totaled 238 rushing yards while quarterback Jordan Travis became the first player in program history with three passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in the same game.

Each member of the 2021 Rare Disease Champion Team will be honored and celebrated during the Uplifting Athletes Young Investigator Draft on Saturday, Feb. 5, 2020, at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles.
