Ibarra measures in at 5’10 155-pounds playing MLB for The Pinnacle. This past season, he had 80 total tackles (19 solo, 61 assisted), 5 TFL, 1 sack, 4 INT, 14 PD, and 1 FF. Ibarra has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, good speed, jumping, and lateral quickness. Good read and reaction speed. Ibarra uses his athleticism and speed to attack gaps making a living in the backfield. One thing of note is his timing on pass break ups. Uses his lengthy arms to swat the ball out of the air, or will punch it out for an incompletion or fumble. Uses his good range to consistently make plays and help his teammates finish tackles. Ibarra exhibits very good competitive toughness. Good tackling with good zone coverage skills too. I’m excited to see how he continues to develop down the stretch.

Ibarra put together a standout campaign defined by versatility and playmaking ability. He racked up 80 total tackles, five tackles for loss and four interceptions, showing his impact in both run support and coverage. Ibarra is smooth in space, reads plays well and shows confidence when breaking on the football. His ball skills and awareness allow him to create turnovers, while his physicality shows up when stepping into the box. That balanced skill set makes him a difficult matchup for opposing offenses. As a small school prospect, sustained production at this level should draw strong Division II interest and continued recruiting momentum.

Few linebackers in 1A can match the versatility that Ibarra brings to the table. He has tallied 45 total tackles and three tackles for loss but what sets him apart is his ability in pass coverage, already securing three interceptions this season. Ibarra demonstrates great instincts when dropping back, reading the quarterback’s eyes and positioning himself perfectly to disrupt passing lanes. At the same time, he’s physical enough to step up and stuff the run, making him a reliable presence against both phases of the offense. His blend of coverage skills and physicality makes him a rare talent at the linebacker position. Ibarra’s playmaking ability ensures he will remain a key defensive weapon and a name to watch as the season progresses.
