Alabama A&M's Towering DE with Untapped SWAC Upside
At 6'4", 250 lbs, junior DE Phillip Hopkins brings imposing size and high school pedigree from Montgomery, AL, to Alabama A&M's Bulldogs frontline, where he logged appearances in 11 games during his 2019 Jacksonville State stint but lacks detailed college stats—highlighting raw potential over proven production. His length and athletic frame from a two-star recruit background scream disruptor in the SWAC, ideal for teams seeking a developmental edge rusher with transfer experience and room to explode; watch for breakout intensity if he bulks up and refines technique.
