How He Fits
Hopper is a little bit light for his frame at this point in high school and sometimes struggles to take on blocks directly. But he does, however, flash the athleticism to fly around the field and make plays in run support and in pass coverage. He’ll need to bulk up at the next level and improve his physicality a bit, but he could be a sleeper worth watching if the Vols land him
