Donny Hiebert brings **size, tackle production, and proven high-school résumé** to Florida State’s DB room
Hiebert is a **6-2 defensive back** whose calling card is production and physicality: at Buchholz, he was an all-state selection after leading the team with **103 tackles** and adding **10.0 tackles for loss** and **1.0 sack** in 2022, which points to a player willing to support the run and play aggressively near the line. Florida State lists him as a 2026 DB, and his profile suggests a versatile, high-motor fit rather than a stat-padding ballhawk. For a staff looking for length, toughness, and special-teams upside, he’s the kind of developmental defender who can earn trust fast.
