Bearcats make 3 star LB Baron Hopson’s Top 8

NM- What have you liked about the University Of Cincinnati to have them in your Top 8 schools?

BH- Mainly my Top 8 was based off my relationship with coaches and Cincinnati seems to have a good core of coaches that I can definitely build with. Coach (Gino) Guidugli, I talk with quite often.

NM- Love that answer. Great coach to have at UC. Have you visited yet? If so, what was something that drew you out the most?

BH- I actually haven’t been to campus yet, but I definitely will be soon.

NM- How would you describe your game as a linebacker?

BH- I would say I’m a field general. I play sideline to sideline and fill every open hole. I’m very instinctive and move laterally well. I am a big time run stopper and can help in the passing game as well.

NM- Good answer very descriptive. What linebackers do you model your game after weather it’s former or current NFL players? Whose your favorite linebacker to watch?

BH- I liked Devin Bush who played at Michigan now with the Steelers, of course I also look up to the Hall of Famer Ray Lewis and and soon to Hall of Famer Thomas Davis, Sr.

NM- Devin Bush, I like that comparison! What is personally your favorite defensive to play as an inside linebacker regarding schemes and stuff like that?

BH- Right now, I play in a 3-3-5 which has been the primary scheme I’ve played in. I love Being in the middle of everything. I also like playing in a 4-2-5 as well.

NM- What have you been doing to stay in shape for this upcoming season as far as workout routines? What’s something you’re looking forward to the most for your senior season?

BH-Before the Covid-19 outbreak I was working out twice a day in the weight room at school. Now, I go to this gym downtown with a personal trainer.

NM- Awesome glad to hear you still have access to the gyms! Since you have your Top 8 picked out do you have any idea of when you’d like to commit?

BH- No sir, I don’t have a commitment date yet!

NM- Awesome man that’s all I have for you. Thanks for taking the time and wish you nothing, but the best for your future and the upcoming season!
