Vann runs with a rare blend of patience and burst, letting the play develop before exploding through lanes with force. He’s tough to square up, slipping past defenders with smooth footwork and finishing every carry with that extra push that turns routine touches into drive-extending gains.

Prep Redzone Scout

Hopping has been the physical workhorse back helping push the Cavs to an undefeated start this season. He carries the ball with great vision and patience, hitting lanes swiftly and setting up his blocks downfield. He showcases a fine mix of explosive play ability down the sideline along with picking up yards after contact between the tackles. Vann is very polished as a pill toter, demonstrating great pad-level and lower body contact balance. He also has 4.55 speed to back all his traits up. With over 900 yards and 18 touchdowns already, the Princeton commit will look to continue his dominant senior season tonight.

Team is 7-0! 931 yds from scrimmage and 18 TDs so far.@TommyMangino @TFlanders405 @LT_FBRecruiting

Marcus Henry

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Hooping has good quickness in the hole, he explodes to daylight with good speed and he has the acceleration to make a house call for six. He runs with great pad level and this enables him to shrug off arm tackles. Hopping reads his blocks quickly, he plants his foot and gets north quickly. He rushed for over 600 yards and 10 touchdowns, while averaging over 6 yards a carry. Look for him to get more touches this season in the Lake Travis offense.
