45. Santana Hopper, Appalachian State, defensive lineman
He was a freshman All-American in 2023 after producing 34 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks and one fumble recovery while lining up at nose tackle and defensive end. No defensive tackle in college football was clocked as fast in-game as Hopper’s 20.0 mph. (The next fastest was 18.7 mph.) The 6-2, 265-pounder bench pressed 385 and squatted 655 this offseason and could’ve gone higher, but his coaches cut him off. He clocked a 4.70 40 with a 1.59 10-yard split.
“He is a monster, still growing and developing,” strength coach Matt Greenhalgh said. “Things are starting to click!”

I hope so. Dude did our team a solid last year by taking over that nose tackle position.
