James Hopkins | Class of 2028 | Parkwood | Defensive Lineman
Coming in as the #3-ranked DL in the Class of 2028, James Hopkins lived up to the hype—and then some. Standing at 6’2″, 260 pounds, Hopkins is already showing advanced technique with a deep bag of moves and countermoves, clearly a result of the hard work he’s been putting in.

What sets him apart isn’t just his physical tools—it’s his relentless work ethic. Hopkins competed at a consistently high level, bringing intensity to every rep and demonstrating the mindset of a future leader in the trenches.

With his foundation of technique, size, and drive, James Hopkins is already positioning himself as a top defensive line prospect in his class.
