Hi Hank - Yes that is definitely a 16 year-old Josh Gibson. The photo came from the collection of teammate Harold "Hooks" Tinker, who is credited with bringing Gibson to the Crawfords in 1928.
Here is another photo from Tinker's collection that was taken at the same time. Tinker has identified all of the players on the back. Gibson is in the front row, on the far left.
