SMU is getting some immediate help up front.
Oregon State offensive lineman Will Hopkins is set to enroll on the Hilltop as a graduate transfer and will be eligible immediately.
Hopkins began his career at Oregon State as a walk-on tight end but earned a scholarship his freshman year and moved to offensive line. He started two games at left tackle in 2015 and played in three games as a reserve in 2016.
Hopkins picked SMU over Rice, Georgia State and Nevada. He will have one year of eligibility.
The addition of Hopkins adds depth to a position group with a lot of question marks entering the 2017 season.
