Mizzou adds graduate transfer linebacker out of UNC

The weather may be cold, but the transfer portal remains hot.

While much of his former state experienced a snowstorm (I should know, I spent the entirety of my morning shoveling), North Carolina linebacker transfer Tyrone Hopper spent the weekend visiting Columbia, Mo. Apparently, whatever he heard was good enough to sign on. Less than one day after wrapping up his visit to Mizzou, Hopper officially announced his time in the portal would come to an end.

It’s a nice addition to the linebacker corps for Steve Wilks. Even if it took him a minute to figure things out, Blaze Alldredge ended the season as one of Mizzou’s most valuable pieces.
