About Hopkins Updated Aug 20, 2026

Veteran Liberty cornerback with breakout upside if he stays healthy

Hopkins enters the 2026 season as Liberty’s lone returning veteran in a remodeled cornerback room, and the big storyline is health: injuries have limited him the last two years after he flashed enough to keep a redshirt intact early in his career. In 2023, he played in 9 games for Liberty, and in 2024 he logged 1 tackle in 4 appearances, so the box score is light — but the value is in experience, size, and versatility at 5-10, 195. If you need a steadier, seasoned CB who could outperform his stats, he’s a sneaky fit.
