Michigan State bolstered its tight end room during the offseason and one of the more intriguing newcomers is Boise State transfer Tyneil Hopper.
Hopper spoke to the media on Tuesday to discuss his decision to come to MSU and his background.
“What got me here (to MSU) was just connections, being able to have people that my Dad knows," Hopper said. "I got reached out to by a lot of schools (when I entered the portal). But this spot specifically, Coach Kap, the O-line coach, he was at UNC before and he knew my brother. Him and my Dad had a really good relationship. So being able to talk to them and Coach Gilmore, just building that little connection right there, and then coming up for a visit, I felt like this was the right place for me to be.”
