Hunter Hopperton brings size, blocking value, and a re-emerging red-zone threat to Kent State
In the 2025 season, Hopperton appeared in 11 games for Kent State and posted 5 catches for 38 yards, a modest stat line that still hints at his utility role rather than pure target volume.[2][3] At 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds, he profiles as a sturdy, physical tight end with solid run-blocking and reliable hands, while Kent State’s roster lists him as a redshirt senior with prior experience at Rhode Island and a 2024 season lost to inactivity after an undisclosed injury.[1][2][8] He looks like a fit for teams needing a tough, experienced TE who can do the dirty work and offer situational receiving value.
