WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Fifth-year senior Brycen Hopkins has been named the John Mackey Tight End of the Week.
Hopkins, who was on the preseason Mackey Award watch list, caught a career-high six passes for 84 yards in the opener at Nevada last Friday. He scored the Boilermakers' first touchdown of the season on a 2-yard reception on Purdue's opening drive.
Hopkins and his Boilermaker teammates begin the home season Saturday when they host Vanderbilt at Ross-Ade Stadium. Kickoff is set for noon ET, and the game will be broadcast on BTN.
The John Mackey Tight End of the Week is an honor distinct and different from the annual John Mackey Award. This weekly honor was started in 2004 to draw attention to individual play by tight ends during the active season. The Tight End of the Week acknowledgment does not have a direct bearing on the final John Mackey Award selection process. The John Mackey Tight End of the Week honor will run until the announcement of the eight semifinalists.
