Hopson is a tenacious nickle back with a very slight frame. He hustles after the ball, and is rewarded with tipped INTs and fumble recoveries. He flows to the football in a natural way, and that’s one reason why Douglas County even lines him up at linebacker. He goes in looking for the big hit, and can flat out unload on the ball carrier. He also got some snaps at running back and his tenacious play resulted in a few impact plays for his team. Hopson has really good quickness, and can make cuts on a dime. His top end speed is not great, but he is a quick accelerator. I really like the Hopson kid’s film, and it’ certainly worth watching his highlight reel if you are looking for a tenacious defender with a passion for the sport.
