2. Ty’Ron Hopper

Florida transfer Ty’Ron Hopper is no stranger to the Wildcats or the stat sheet. Hopper leads the team in total tackles (TOT) with 47. Out of those 47 tackles. 40 are solo tackles, with Hopper adding 10.5 tackles for a loss.

The Wildcats’ offense line has been an eye-sore all season long with their protection of Will Levis. I would expect the Tigers to bring pressure early and often. In order for the Wildcats to come out with a victory on Saturday they must contain Hopper.
