currently ranks inside of our 2026 Top 125 rankings as the #6 TE in the class and has shown real potential for the position during his young career. We got to see him live in person at our PRZ WV Combine event earlier this summer and is a physically impressive sophomore athlete. Rippeon is more of a blocking tight end prospect right now which will serve him well down the road where that side of the position gets often overlooked nowadays. He can continue to improve his athleticism to become a bigger threat in the passing game and develop as a receiving target in their offense. However, Rippeon did flash the ability to leak out and run routes as an attached tight end or lining up in the slot. We’d like to see film of his blocking ability as a TE but know he’s a very capable blocker in the style of offense the Indians ran last season.
Rippeon is still very much a raw prospect right now, but the potential and upside are apparent which warranted being ranked inside the Top 125 to this point.

as he’ll be one of the few true tight ends in attendance. Rippeon currently ranks as the #6 TE in the class and a Top 125 player right now, but this will be the first time getting to see him in person which will be telling for us. The Berkeley Springs program has struggled lately, so Rippeon hasn’t truly shown what he’s fully capable of to this point. That can change quickly at the combine and will give us a bigger sample size of his abilities and ceiling as a TE prospect. Our two main questions for him that we’ll want answered are does he have the athleticism to be a scholarship-level TE and can he be a formidable pass catcher for the position? We’ve only gotten a small glimpse of those the past two seasons but will get a great look at them in person at the combine.

is an exciting young tight end prospect for the Berkeley Springs Indians. Rippeon is a 2026 prospect that is already a big 6’3 205 athlete. The tight end position is a tough one to play as a freshman but Rippeon is well ahead of the game for his age. We ranked him as the 44th overall player in the 2026 class and the 4th-ranked tight end. His future outlook and potential are high and Rippeon should develop into one of the best tight ends in Class AA. As he continues growing into his body and getting stronger, Rippeon will realize his potential and develop his game to another level. He showed good hands last season as a freshman and you can line him up at wide receiver too. I would like to see him playing faster and more naturally as he gets older but the early signs are there for Rippeon to become a very good player.
