Ty'Ron Hopper, former Florida LB, reportedly transfers to SEC East school

Ty’Ron Hopper, a Florida linebacker, was in the transfer portal. Then, he wasn’t. Then, he was again.

Now, it seems the decision has stuck. Per a report on Thursday, Hopper is staying in the SEC East for the 2022 season.

As you can see below, Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports tweeted on Thursday afternoon that Hopper was transferring to Mizzou and would arrive on campus soon:

Hopper was a key part of the Florida defense in 2021, finishing fourth on the team with 65 tackles, 10 of which went for a loss. He also had 3.5 sacks, 2 pass breakups and a fumble recovery.

Mizzou desperately needs depth at linebacker, so Hopper figures to play a prominent role in Steve Wilks’ defense in 2022.
