Big, physical LB with Blue Hose upside
Ruppe brings a classic linebacker build and South Carolina football toughness to Presbyterian, with recruiting profiles listing him at 6'1", 220 pounds and identifying him as a 2025 LB prospect from Gaffney.[4][8] The standout reason to care is fit: he profiles as a physical, downhill defender who should add thump, effort, and special-teams value rather than flashy splash plays. Publicly available sources are thin on college production, so the best read is that he is a developmental add with a strong local pedigree and a blue-collar identity that can translate well in a depth-chart battle.[5][15]
