Tibbs attended Pope High School in Georgia. He earned first team All-State honors as a sophomore and senior, and helped lead Pope to the 2018 Georgia AAAAAA state championship and a runner-up finish in 2019. He chose to join Florida State following his high school career.
Tibbs made a great first impression as a freshman, slashing .300/.411/.553 (average, on base %, slugging) with 10 home runs, 13 doubles, and 32 RBI. He was named Second-Team Freshman All-American by Perfect Game.
Last season as a sophomore, Tibbs went .338/.471/.682, hitting 17 home runs, 14 doubles, and driving in 43 RBI. He was team leader in average, home runs, RBI, on base %, slugging, and walks.
This season is Tibbs' junior year, and he looks to improve his numbers again to creep into the first round of the draft.
