Independence sent three prospects in their senior class to Glenville State with the highest-ranked being LB Derrick “D” Hypes. Hypes was a PRZ WV Class AA First Team All-State selection this season and had about as productive of a senior year as you can have at the linebacker position. With his size and development at this stage, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s seeing reps as a freshman and should be a player for the Pioneers sooner rather than later.

Below was our evaluation of Hypes this season.

Written by Prep Redzone Staff in 2024 Rankings Update: Top 10 LBs

rnAnother linebacker who entered our Top 100 from this past 2024 Rankings update was Independence linebacker . The 6’2 215 middle linebacker was a very productive player during his high school career and finished his senior season with 160 tackles. He’s another throwback MLB type whose athleticism limits his ceiling but his play and instincts make up for it. Hypes increased his size significantly this season and battled back from an ACL injury sustained in last year’s state championship. He comes from a winning program that has great linebacker development and is someone D2 schools should be looking at and a steal if he ends up at the D3 level.
