Hollywood (Fla.) 2020 linebacker Ruben Hyppolite already holds an impressive offer list, but after receiving an offer from West Virginia, he views the Mountaineers as a "top program."

"[I] had a great talk with coach Trickett. It's an honor to catch the attention of one of the top programs in college football."

Hyppolite claims offers from Auburn, Baylor, Kentucky, Oregon, and many others, but added he is working on a visit to Morgantown in the future.

The 6-foot, 225-pound Florida product also stated that when he does decide on a school sometime after spring, the relationships he creates with the coaches and the area a school is in will be important factors.

Hyppolite also commented on the possibility of playing in the Big 12.

"I could definitely bring something different to the Big 12 from a defensive standpoint and shine."

During his senior season, Hyppolite is focused on improving all aspects of his game and earning All-American honors along the way.
