Tyrone Hopper Intent On Making Most Of This Opportunity

Posted Aug 24, 2020
If Tyrone Hopper has a big senior season at linebacker for North Carolina this fall, there won’t be anything fortuitous about it. It will go deeper than that. Perhaps in his case, success can be defined by the effect of preparation meeting opportunity. Throw in patience, staying the course, and perseverance as well. All apply to Hopper. He’s defined by it.
