Former coaches see Kopps among the greats

Norm DeBriyn sees many of his ex-players regularly at a Friday morning Bible study.

Along with their weekly lessons, there is a regular debate: What is the wipe-out pitch Kevin Kopps is throwing?

“It’s Dave Jorn, Nick Schmidt, Charley Boyce, Clint Brannon and a bunch of others,” DeBriyn said. “No one is exactly sure what that is Kevin is throwing. But we all agree it is un-hittable.”

Jorn was the pitching coach under DeBriyn and current coach Dave Van Horn. Jorn recruited Kopps, along with Tony Vitello. Schmidt, Boyce and Brannon all pitched for the Razorbacks under Jorn.
