Ingalls played with sharp instincts and impressive discipline, making him one of the most impactful defenders on the field. He finished with six total tackles and added half a tackle for loss, consistently attacking gaps with purpose and shedding blocks to meet the ball carrier near the line of scrimmage. Ingalls also showed the versatility to drop into coverage, disrupting throwing lanes and taking away quick hitting routes. His ability to affect both phases of the game gives Valor Christian flexibility in its defensive scheme. Ingalls played a major role in limiting Legend’s offensive rhythm, frequently appearing at the right moment to halt potential momentum. As Valor advances, his high motor and situational awareness make him a key name to watch, especially against a dominant Cherry Creek offense.

Back to the gridiron, Ingalls has put on some serious muscle since wrestling season and is now listed at 185 pounds and stands 5-foot-9 (size is not verified). He looks very comfortable in his stance and plays on the balls of his feet at all times. On top of wrestling and football, he’s also an accomplished rugby player. He’s wearing No. 44 for the Colorado Jr. Buffs this year.
