#87 - Derrick Hopkins - WR - 5-5 158-pounds - RS Junior - Opa Locka, FL (Miami Monsignor Pace HS)
2011 stats: Hopkins had 4 receptions for 34 yards last year, including a season long 24 yard reception vs. FAMU. He also returned 1 kick return for 42 yards.
Position on the depth chart: Hopkins was listed as the 3rd team slot receiver behind Victor Marc and Terrence Mitchell coming out of the spring.
2012 projection: Hopkins, aka the flea, is a track star that has all the speed in the world if the offense can find a way to put the ball in his hands. His small size make it hard for him to get the ideal match-ups on the field, but Holtz has stated they will find a way to let him get into open space and create big plays with his elite speed. Look for him to be used in screens and short passes out of the backfield that will allow him to catch the ball in space and race away from defenders.
