From the moment he first stepped foot on campus, fans have been practically begging to see linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper get more playing time.
They have a strong argument. Hopper was one of the gems of the Gators’ 2019 class, and he’s a unique talent. He started his high school career playing cornerback and safety but moved to linebacker once he started getting bigger after his sophomore year.
So, once he bulks up, he’ll have the coverage skills of a defensive back and the physicality and strength of a linebacker. That type of player will give offenses fits, and the Gators don’t quite have anyone else like him on the roster.
