Early years
Hingle McCringleberry was born in Belle Glade, Florida, to Donna and Shaquille McCringleberry. Hingle is the oldest of three boys in the McCringleberry household, all very close in age, so that helped not only Hingle, but all his siblings remain competitive. The McCringleberry did not originally live in Tampa, Florida, but more in the center of the state and south. Hingle grew up chasing rabbits in the fields and swamp areas, which helped with his with his speed and agility. Since McCringleberry showed a real love and passion for football, the family moved to Tampa, because there he would be able to pursue his dream of playing football and go to school better suited for sports.
Hingle joined Silver Creek High School as a Sophomore and had always dominated the Pop Warner leagues back in his hometown, but this new area and schools were a lot different. Also coming in as a Sophomore, Hingle felt behind but that only fueled the fire more to succeed! Hingle went on to dominate in his Junior and Senior years of high school, which he helped lead them to back to back State Championships. Hingle got a bunch of school that scouted him and wanted him to join but he decided that Penn State University was where he wanted to play college football, and his best friend also committed there.
College career
Accepted to Penn State University on a full ride, Hingle knew that he would have to fill in some big shoes knowing the leader of the defense for the past three years had just been drafted 6th overall! Not only did Hingle have to worry about that, he knew going into a big university, he was not the only one that they scouted for the linebacker and would have some heavy competition for the starting role. As a freshman Hingle rarely started but was rotated in frequently with two other linebackers, one that was also a freshman and another a sophomore. When Hingle was on the field he showed signs of dominance, but only towards the end of the year. The beginning of the season Hingle struggled to find his footing like he always had and adjust to the pace of the game with some of the nations best. The biggest highlight of his freshman year was in a game verse Ohio State, where Hingle burst off the edge on a blitz, stripped the quarterback and took it to the house to send to overtime, Ohio State won 38-32.
McCringleberry had a solid sophomore season by beating out the competition, which rigorous offseason training helped Hingle get the starting role for every game. Junior year is where McCringleberry became a monster and tore up the NCAA. Hingle had 81 total tackles, 10 for a loss of yards, 2 interceptions, and 3 forced fumbles. He started to make a name for himself and Penn States defense was running on all cylinders. Penn State got to a bowl game that year against Georgia and proceeded to beat them through stellar defensive play. Senior year was an even bigger year for Hingle McCringleberry, which he doubled up on his tackles for 164 and 76 of them were solo. He had 4 interceptions which two of them were returned for touchdowns. Lead the team in sacks with 8 and had 3 forced fumbles again. McCringleberry would get DPOTY and receive Big Ten Conference First Team Honors. Penn State won the conference and almost made it to the big dance this year, falling short in the losing in the semi finals to LSU 24-20. McCringleberry will attend the combine.
