There’s a family connection for Hopper with Missouri. His cousin, Tyrone (a former North Carolina linebacker), decided to join the Tigers as a transfer earlier this month.
Auburn, which recently hired former Florida linebackers coach Christian Robinson, had been another consideration for Hopper. However, Hopper wouldn’t have been able to enroll and join the team at Auburn until after the spring semester whereas he can enroll immediately at Missouri, a source told On3.
