The non-scholarship player appeared in five UW games in 2023.
Milton Hopkins Jr. looks like most of the other University of Washington edge rushers. Mobile and athletic. Long and lean.
A year ago, Hopkins was in a similar situation coming out of spring practice, as the walk-on defender who pulled a lot of April snaps, often bouncing between the No. 2 and 3 defensive groups. So Hopkins might be getting closer to the end game, which is handling more responsibility backed by scholarship funding and maybe a name, image and likeness opportunity tacked on.
"I want to contribute," Hopkins said in 2023. "It took the bowl to make me realize I wanted to be here, to be a contributor."
