Darrell Gipson Jr. brings speed, versatility, and a rising edge to Idaho’s linebacker room
In the 2026 season, Darrell Gipson Jr. is positioned as an impact linebacker for Idaho after transferring from Cincinnati, where he brought added depth and versatility to the room; Idaho coaches and beat coverage have singled out his speed, rapid play diagnosis, and ability to fit a multiple defense as standout traits. He also earned practice honors in August 2026, which is a good sign he’s trending up. If you value a linebacker who can read fast, move downhill, and handle multiple roles, he looks like a strong fit.
