Blaine Hipa brings dual-threat upside and a proven big-game ceiling to Princeton’s quarterback room
Hipa is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound left-handed quarterback who already showed he can handle a starter’s workload, posting 1,665 passing yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024 before taking on a more limited role in 2025. His value is not just the arm: he has enough mobility to add designed-run and scramble value, and Princeton credited him with captain-level leadership in 2025. The knock is consistency, especially interception avoidance, but his late-2024 improvement and multiple 200-plus-yard performances suggest a fit for a team that wants toughness, composure, and upside from the pocket.
