Jarcoby Hopson is emerging as a real-deal depth piece in Ole Miss’ linebacker room
In the 2026 season, Jarcoby Hopson is working his way into Ole Miss’ linebacker rotation and has been described as a player fighting for and solidifying the No. 4 spot in a deep room. He brings a strong recruiting pedigree, a physical 6-foot-1/6-foot-2 frame around 220-230 pounds, and two-way athleticism from high school, where he piled up 208 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, and 6 sacks as a senior. His appeal is upside: versatile, tough, and trending upward — the kind of player who fits if a team wants development, special-teams value, and linebacker depth with juice.
