a physical, high-motor linebacker who led Maryland in tackles in 2024
Hyppolite is a tone-setting inside linebacker whose biggest calling card is reliability: in the 2024 season, he led Maryland with 66 tackles and was graded as one of the Big Ten’s steadier defenders, which fits the film notes on his toughness, downhill trigger, and special-teams-to-starter value. He isn’t a flashy stat merchant, but he brings the kind of physical, assignment-sound presence coaches love—smart, durable, and consistently around the ball. In short: if you want a linebacker who plays with edge, communicates well, and won’t blink on game day, he’s your guy.
