New offer(?): 2017 QB Jackson Gibbs
Charlotte (NC) Hough QB Jackson Gibbs is reporting a Michigan offer. It's been rumored that this is not an actual scholarship offer, but perhaps a preferred walk-on offer. The PWO thing would not be surprising, since Gibbs is 6'1", 185 lbs., runs a 5.03 forty, and has no other FBS offers.
Gibbs is the grandson of former NFL head coach Joe Gibbs.
remind of Drew Brees, obviously I'm not saying he will be at that level of play eventually but he throws a nice ball for sure.
From what I read its more of an offer to increase his recruiting profile
I was just typing that it is prolly to get the boy exposure.

Yep. A Harbaugh QB offer gibbs you a lot of national attention.
I see what you did there. +1 for the effort
Yes. Sam Webb confirmed that.

Harbaugh understands reciprocity. While Gibbs is far removed from coaching, he still has to have a big network of coaching friends. Also getting a PWO with coaching lineage is a good thing.
(Joe) Gibbs actually went to Harbaugh's satellite camp in Baltimore. I don't know whether Jackson was there.
Wasn't Harbaugh and his wife guests of Gibbs at a recent Indy Car event or somesuch? If so, this is consistent with this being a PWO favor to a friend (not that Jackson Gibbs might not be worthy) rather than identifying a diamond in the rough expected to play for Michigan.
And, as noted above, it could also be a way for Harbaugh to get Gibbs some publicity and perhaps some offers at non-P5 schools.
The MIS NASCAR race maybe. Gibbs has nothing to do with Indycar. Harbaugh is a former team owner/partner with Panther racing, however.

as a lifelong Redskins fan, I'm all for anything Joe Gibbs
in an Indycar team, maybe he'll dip his toe into the NASCAR waters...
Brian Griese was an NFL-legacy QB who originally came in on a walk-on offer. Just sayin....
I'd imagine Wilton's brother's offer is the same as this.

Yeah it definitely is. Hey there's another lineman that nobody is talking about see we DO have them
Those measurables will set him back a bit.
Joe Gibbs was a GREAT football coach. I know he's been doing his NASCAR thing for a while now, but man, if he ever wanted like a part-time analyst position....
Jackson Gibbs, that's the name of Gibbs' father from the NCIS tv series.
