Berry High sophomore Germon Hopper—remember that name—is already drawing national attention, according to his coach, Andrew Howard.
“He’s been invited down to Clemson in two weeks for the Wake Forest game,” Howard said today. “Alabama’s already strongly interested in him, and N.C. State has been in contact.”
Hopper, who is 5-foot-10 and 160 pounds, already has 4.4-second speed in the 40-yard dash, according to Howard. He plays running back and wide receiver, and returns kickoffs and punts.
Last season—get this--as a ninth-grader, Hopper had around 2,400 all-purpose yards as a member of the varsity, Howard estimated.
“He’s the hardest worker on the team,” his coach said. “He can already bench-press 265 pounds.
“He’s a kid to watch.”
Everyone will be, and soon.

If the Heels aren't recruiting him, he must be just average. Trust in Butch...
Yeah trust in Butch lol Thats why State has 3 commits out of the top 7 recruits in NC. State's 2010 Class ranked 27 Tarholes ranked 38
Butch Davis will win a National Championship soon!!! All you haters need to shut up! Go Heels!
If the Hoos take out the Heels this weekend, Coach Davis should return his undeserved raise. What a fraud!
Unfortunatelly until Butch junks his very predictable offense and gives the athletes that he has recruited the opportunity to make plays Carolina will be nothing but an laso ran in the world of College Football. He has the answer right under his nose. AJ Blue is ronald Curry with a bigger arm and more accuracy who can beat you with his legs. He and Michael Vick are in the same situation. They have two hyped up QB's with tenure that everyone wants to coddle. Play the best 11 hmmmmm novel idea..
His name is GermonE?
The bottomline is that Butch was once ambitious and wanted to work his way up to bigger things. When he got there, he had panic attacks and quit midseason. He has opted out of the rat race by going to a school with low expectations that will allow him to get in academically suspect players via "online courses." He isn't even getting it done on the recruiting front, which is a real problem given his gameday coaching was always suspect. I mean, how come Clemson is in earlier on an NC recruit than Butch?! Get it done BMFD!
