Gillins proved he can play against tough competition when he transferred from 2A Eaglesview Academy to 5A Jacksonville Ribault and immediately led the Trojans into a playoff hunt in a very tough district.
The Trojans were runner-ups to Jacksonville Bishop Kenny and fell to 5A runner-up Clay in the first round, but Gillins was the heartbeat of the team. He threw for over 4800 yards his first two seasons and was injured in his junior year, but came back in 2013 to throw for over 2000 yards for the Trojans. He's added a little weight, but not lost in speed - clocked at 4.51 in the 40.
