Dazhaun Hopkins is a rising Duquesne back with burst and versatility
Hopkins enters the 2026 season as a redshirt sophomore at Duquesne, listed at 5-foot-10 and 200 pounds, after a 2025 campaign in which he logged 52 carries for 213 yards and 2 rushing touchdowns, plus a 7-yard catch.[1][4][6][10] His profile points to a compact, physical runner with enough speed to pop chunk gains, and his high-school résumé — over 1,000 rushing yards, 14 touchdowns, and all-catholic recognition — suggests a player who brings real juice and competitive edge.[1][11] If you want a back who can handle volume, contribute in the passing game, and keep climbing, Hopkins is worth a close look.[1][6]
