Max Hopkins Max Hopkins 6'8" | 230 lbs | TE/DL Fishers | 2029 IN is going to be a big-time prospect. The Class of 2029 prospect from Fishers High School doesn’t have any tape yet, but as we noted in a school visit last winter, Hopkins will be a big-time tight end prospect in the future. The 6-foot-7, 230-pound prospect is a standout on the basketball court, too, and given his size and leaping ability he will present big matchup problems for opposing defenses. Picked up first two offers from Miami-Ohio and Austin Peay.

Rare Size & Fluidity: Moves exceptionally well for his height, showing natural athleticism both with and without the football.

Explosive Releases: Uses his long stride to quickly eat up ground and reach his routes’ landmarks efficiently.

Physicality & Body Control: Not afraid to use his size to shield defenders and create separation.

Basketball Background: High-level hoops experience contributes to elite hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and footwork.

Pass-Catching Ability: A massive target with strong hands, making him a reliable option in the passing game.

Lateral Quickness: Moves well side to side, which helps in route running and blocking.

Blocking Potential: Extends his arms well in blocking situations, showing room to develop into a more complete tight end.

Fourth on this list is Max Hopkins from the great state of Indiana. Hopkins is a Tight End who stands 6’6, 210 lbs., so it should be no surprise that he is also a star on the Basketball court. His insane stature as an 8th grader means he is completely unguardable at the Middle School level. For reference there are Tight Ends in the NFL who are shorter than 6’6, in 8th grade his height is ludicrous. Playing basketball means that Hopkins has great jumping ability, and he showcases really good footwork and a catch radius that is out of this world. The only downside about Ball is he may decide to choose basketball over football, but in either sport he will be a sure fire home run.
