NEWARK, NJ - Shyquan Gibbs, a senior on the NJIT men's basketball team, has had plenty of success on the court during his time as a Highlander. The New Jersey native has also excelled in the classroom and spent a great deal of time helping out in the community, as well.

News12NJ recently met with Gibbs at the Wellness and Events Center to profile all of his great work. 

"My parents have always taught me that one day the ball will stop bouncing," explained Gibbs to News12NJ. "I'm not going to be able to play basketball for the rest of my life, but I'll be able to have an education. Being able to balance basketball and education is a great thing."
