Trevis Hopper

Highly regarded defensive lineman Trevis Hopper joined Recruiting Thursday to tell why he decided to be the first Razorback commitment for the 2019 class.

Hopper, 6-3, 268 of Memphis Central chose the Hogs over scholarship offers from Tennessee, Clemson, Georgia, Auburn, Louisville, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and others. He discussed when the thought of committing first entered his mind and when he actually made the pledge to Coach Chad Morris.

ESPN rates Hopper a 3-star prospect, the No. 22 defensive tackle and the No. 300 overall prospect in the nation for the 2019 class. He also talked about the recruits he's looking to bring with him to Fayetteville.
