Kelby Hypolite is a 5’9″, 166 pound, class of 2024 quarterback for Breaux Bridge High School in Louisiana. Kelby is one of the most talented dual-threat quarterbacks in the area, and is an exceptional player in many ways. He’s a talented athlete, and quick on his feet. He uses his footwork, which is one of his strengths, to oftentimes reach the second level when rushing with the ball, and if he reaches that second level, his homerun speed often takes him far. Passing-wise, Kelby can sling the ball when he needs to. he oftentimes rolls out, but he shows decent pocket awareness as well, plus he has an above-average arm in terms of how far he can throw downfield. For whoever coaches this player in college, there will be a decision made about which position he will play. He’s athletic enough to play wide receiver or running back, but there is potential for Kelby to be polished into a quarterback at the next level as well.
Kelby also plays in the secondary for Breaux Bridge, and had a huge pick-six of around 75 yards. He has recorded 21 total tackles so far in 2023. On the offensive side, Kelby has thrown for 858 yards and 7 touchdowns, as well as 779 yards and 6 touchdowns on the ground. He has exceeded 100 rushing yards five times this season.
Kelby does not hold any offers at the moment. He has taken visits to LSU, Arkansas, and Louisiana Christian University.
