About Hopkins Updated May 10, 2026

Purdue's Deep-Threat TE with NFL Pedigree

In the 2019 season, Brycen Hopkins erupted for Purdue with 34 receptions, 583 yards, and 2 TDs across 13 games, leading Boilermakers with a team-high 17.1 yards per catch and earning 'Best TE in the Country' buzz from highlight reels. Son of ex-NFLer Justin Hopkins, he stands out with elite size (6'4", 245 lbs), smooth route-running, and explosive playmaking that terrorized defenses—think 21-yard NFL catches mirroring his college breakaways. No major injury flags; his high-motor intensity and pro-ready traits make him a seamless fit for teams craving a versatile, red-zone mismatch weapon.
