Jared Hopper brings veteran depth and steady safety play to Texas State
In the 2020 season, Texas State safety Jared Hopper appeared in nine games and recorded 5 tackles, a small stat line that still reflects a dependable role on the back end[3][4]. The bigger selling point is experience: he’s a long, physical defensive back with a Texas prep background and a track record of being available in the rotation, which matters for a secondary that values communication and assignment soundness[1][2][4]. If you want a rangy, low-drama safety who can fit into a structured defense and do the dirty work, Hopper is the kind of roster glue that coaches like to keep around[1][4].
