Postion: Offensive Coordinator | Offensive Line Coach

Hopkins enters his first year as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for ETBU head coach Calvin Ruzicka. He brings American Southwest Conference experience after playing at Texas Lutheran University and coaching last season at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. 

"Trevor fits the culture of ETBU and our football program," says head coach Calvin Ruzicka. "He's going to be a great mentor to our players and his philosophy on offense compliments what we want to do on defense."
 
Hopkins spent last year on the coaching staff at Mary Hardin-Baylor as the offensive graduate assistant and tight ends coach. He assisted offensive line coach Matt Cannata in recruiting, helped with the weekly breakdown and offensive game plan, and ran daily meetings/film sessions with the tight ends. He was a part of UMHB's run through the NCAA Division III playoffs to the semi-finals while also winning the American Southwest Conference championship. The UMHB offense finished the year top 10 in the nation for first down offense (4^th) and was top 25 in scoring offense (15^th, 41.3 ppg), total offense (17^th, 460.8 ypg), third down conversion (15^th, .494), and passing efficiency (11^th, 168.51). UMHB went 12-2 and a perfect 8-0 in the ASC.
