No purchase necessary. 50 U.S./D.C. 18+. Entry opens 3PM ET Dec 6, 2026 and closes 8PM ET Dec 18, 2026. Void where prohibited.See for complete details. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is not a sponsor or administrator of this contest.

Instincts: Extremely physical. Wastes little time attacking downhill upon diagnosing; maintains forward momentum even while fighting off blocks. Prefers to help in run support, but comfortable in coverage. Tracks ball well in the air, especially as a deep defender.

Polish: Awesome tackler inbox and open field. Arrives low and with power, squaring up shoulders to the ball. Technique and footwork in coverage, especially as a one-on-one defender, need development. Must add jam at LOS.

Bottom Line: Hibbler is a strong, powerful safety who’s at his best in the box but capable of playing multiple roles in coverage. Has the ceiling of versatile, multi-year starter at strong safety, and should see the field early for Missouri in sub-packages.
