Early years
Tank was born to Judy and Ed McGibbons near Greenwood Indiana. He grew up on the family farm, helping with the chores everyday. In his rare off time, he played football in the fall and wrestled in the winter. Spring and Summer were reserved for farm work, given those are the busier times. From a young age, Tank has always excelled at physical feats. He credits his farm upbringing for that. His father Ed noticed Tank's ability at a young age, and helped his son design and build his own workout equipment that they stored in a side yard on the farm. It was here that Tank honed his explosive power. He credits working with the cattle on helping his endurance and overall strength. This endurance and strength helped him earn several honors as a wrestler, placing in several meets and invitationals during his childhood. It is his training as a wrestler that he credits for his footwork.
College career
"Tank elected to attend Wabash College, a small division 3 college in Crawfordsville, IN. Given his size and ability, he was a day 1 starter. Over his freshman year, Tank recorded 4 pancakes and allowed 9 sacks as Right Guard. Unsatisfied with his performance, Tank returned home for the summer and designed what he called the ""pancake machine"". It was a weighted machine that helped Tank develop his finishing power. The following season, Tank recorded a team leading 54 pancakes and allowed 8 sacks, this time as the Left Guard. He continued to hone and develop his skills year over year. He earned All-American honors his sophomore, junior, and senior seasons. Having lead all of division 3 in pancakes and allowed sacks his senior season, Tank attracted the attention of ISFL scouts and was invited to attend the combine in preparation for the 38th season. Tank finished his college career as an offensive line specialist, having played multiple snaps at every position."

2053 ISFL scouting combine (S38) |
Tank McGibbons was selected first overall by the Dallas Birddogs in the S38 DSFL draft. Following this selection, he was transitioned from an offensive lineman to the MLB1 during the 2053 campaign. Tank was a part of a stout defense full of future ISFL stars, he recorded 73 total tackles, forced 2 fumbles, and recorded 2 sacks. Not satisfied with just being a run stopping monster in the middle, Tank dropped back in coverage successfully 4 times, and even blocked a field goal. Quickly rising in the ranks of the locker room, Tank has emerged as a leader on this squad. It remains unclear at this moment where Tank ends up next season, as there are several ISFL teams in need of a linebacker. Tank could very easily find himself called to the next level following this draft. Currently, Tank is projected to go early in the first round of the S38 ISFL draft, with an outside shot of repeating as the first overall pick.
