Georgia State safety D-Icey Hopkins is a productive, rising playmaker with disruptive upside
In the 2025 season, Hopkins showed real growth for Georgia State, piling up 22 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, 2 pass breakups, and a forced fumble through six games, after posting 23 tackles and 3 pass breakups in 2024.[4][8] His profile points to a safety who can play downhill, flash in the backfield, and create turnovers with physicality, while EA’s ratings also suggest above-average athletic traits, solid awareness, and strong tackling/coverage potential.[4][6] He looks like a fit for a team that wants a versatile, active defensive back who brings production and edge rather than just cleanup tackling.[6][8]
