Experienced Rhode Island DB with proven ball skills and return value
Hibbert arrives at Rhode Island as a battle-tested defensive back with multi-year starting experience at LIU, where he logged 43 tackles, an interception, and a punt-return role in 2023-24. He stands out for versatility, having worked at both safety spots and nickelback, plus he has shown special-teams value with 43 punt-return yards in 2024. Recruiting and high school notes also point to leadership—he captained his varsity team and recorded 14 career interceptions—so he looks like a smart, flexible fit for a defense that wants reliability, football IQ, and plug-and-play depth.[2][10][1]
