The last time that Brycen Hopkins had more than two snaps in a regular season game as a tight end was November 30, 2019. As a member of the Purdue Boilermakers, Hopkins was arguably the most dominant presence on the field, catching eight passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns in a 44-41 overtime loss to Indiana.
A week earlier against Wisconsin, Hopkins caught eight passes for 127 yards and two touchdowns. In his final seven college games, Brycen Hopkins caught 47 passes for 625 yards and four touchdowns.
