The Coaches on hand and I were very close to giving Fairmont Senior Hunter Bigelow Hunter Bigelow 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Fairmont Senior | 2025 State WV MVP honors, but we settled on a top performer. This dude is a stud that would make a number of Division 2 schools happy if he committed. Displaying good footwork and hip movement in the individual drills, Bigelow showed up as walk in registration and balled out.

Many times during the 1vs1s I had to do a double take as I am stunned he has not committed yet. Like his younger brother Hunter comes from family of talented football players, his future is very bright.

Another 2025 LB with D1 potential on this list is Fairmont Senior’s Hunter Bigelow Hunter Bigelow 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Fairmont Senior | 2025 State WV who has been a solid addition to the Polar Bears’ defense for his senior year.

Bigelow is in the mold of your classic middle linebacker who is a stout between-the-tackles run-stopper. The 6’2 220 senior is a physical player who is very strong in run defense and often meets running backs in the A and B gaps at the line of scrimmage. Bigelow packs a punch behind his pads when he squares his shoulders and can stop runners in their tracks. Getting North and South is the best part of his game, but he can also sniff out outside runs and beat ball carriers at the LOS outside of the tackles too.

Another high-impact transfer for the Polar Bears this season will be former Saint James (MD) linebacker Hunter Bigelow Hunter Bigelow 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Fairmont Senior | 2025 State WV . He’s a D1 prospect who picked up his first D1 football offer from Morehead State recently and should fit right in with the Fairmont Senior talented LB group. Look for Bigelow to make an immediate impression this season for his new squad as he gets acclimated with WV high school football.

Here’s what we said about Bigelow’s PRZ WV Combine performance:

“The brotherly Saint James (MD) linebacker duo had a good showing at the PRZ WV Combine with older brother  Hunter Bigelow Hunter Bigelow 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Fairmont Senior | 2025 State WV  earning a LB Top Performer spot. The elder Bigelow looks the part of a classic middle linebacker who has earned plenty of accolades for his play on the field back in Maryland. He’s a quality overall athlete who has received D1 offers for lacrosse but has plenty of upside as a football player too. Bigelow has good feet and showed quality lateral quickness that benefitted him during the RBs vs LBs 1-on-1 drill. That was backed up by his testing numbers where he ran a sub-5-second 40, 4.47 pro shuttle, and 7.69 L Drill further proving what we saw the rest of the camp.”

The Bigelow Brothers made headlines when they announced that they would be transferring from St. James (MD) to Fairmont Senior to meet up with cousin and Top 10 2025 prospect Trevor Bigelow Trevor Bigelow 6'4" | 270 lbs | DL Fairmont Senior | 2025 State WV this season. Older brother Hunter Bigelow Hunter Bigelow 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Fairmont Senior | 2025 State WV will start his journey in WV as a Top 35 prospect in the class and the #5 LB in a deep linebacker pool this cycle. He was a LB Top Performer at our combine event in May and just recently picked up his first D1 offer for football from Morehead State as well as some lacrosse opportunities at that level as well. In the 6’2 220 size range, Bigelow has the ideal frame for a middle linebacker and plays the position how you picture a throwback MLB would play it.

We’ll get a better gauge of his ability and talent level this season with Fairmont Senior as they’re poised for another deep playoff run. As we become more familiar with his game in WV, Bigelow could increase his stock by the time the final rankings update comes out after the season.
