Two-way wing with pro-level feel, now back in full bloom after the knee setback
In the 2025-26 season, Bryce Hopkins gave St. John’s a rugged, versatile frontcourt weapon: he averaged 14.0 points and 6.2 rebounds through 27 games, ranked top-11 in the Big East in both categories, and piled up 105 made free throws while earning BIG EAST Player of the Week honors after back-to-back double-doubles[1]. The big differentiator is his blend of power and playmaking from the wing—he can score, rebound, defend multiple spots, and create secondary offense—while his comeback arc matters too, because he returned from a torn ACL suffered in January 2024 and looked increasingly like his old self by March[3][4].
