Houston
"A solid 6'2", 250-pounder who has clocked 4.6 in the 40, Giblin was named a first team All-American by the Sporting News and was additionally a preseason All-American selection by Playboy Magazine. A pre-med student at Houston, Giblin was also honored by his selection to the All-Academic All-American team.
In his last two seasons, Robert had eight pass interceptions for 131 yards returned, with one of those being a 52-yard touchdown return in his junior year. He also led the team in fumble recoveries for those two seasons with a total of five and doubled as a fine punt return man. He had seven returns for 113 yards in his senior year, a 16.1 average, with a long return of 51 yards.
A native of Port Neches Groves, Texas, just outside of Houston, Robert was an All-State performer in football as a two-way player, a split end on offense and a cornerback on defense as well as a linebacker. He was an outstanding golfer in high school, winning two letters in that sport."
