Tulsa’s high-motor edge setter with academic polish
In the 2008 season, Moton Hopkins was a cornerstone on Tulsa’s defensive front, starting all 14 games and posting 71 tackles with 10 tackles for loss, plus second-team All-Conference USA recognition[1]. Tulsa also described him as a “tenacious” defensive end who wreaked havoc against the run and pass, and his three straight Conference USA All-Academic honors point to a disciplined, high-character player who brings effort, intelligence, and reliability[1][2]. If a team wants a dependable, disruptive DE who plays hard and won’t sneak up on a classroom either, Hopkins absolutely fits the bill[1][2].
