Today’s Dark Territory Letterman and Trivia Question of the Day features former Clemson wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who lettered for the Tigers from 2010-2012 and earned All-American honors in 2012.
Affectionately known as “Nuk” by the Clemson faithful, Hopkins was a standout athlete at Daniel High School in Central, South Carolina, where he excelled in football, basketball, and track & field.
Hopkins made an immediate impact as a freshman in 2010, playing in all 12 games and recording 52 receptions for 637 yards and four touchdowns.
During his junior season in 2012, he emerged as one of the top receivers in college football, hauling in 1,405 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns, which ranked second nationally that season.
In his final game as a Clemson Tiger, Hopkins delivered one of the greatest performances of his career.
Against LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, he caught 13 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns, including the clutch fourth-down reception from Tajh Boyd that extended Clemson’s game-winning drive. Hopkins finished the season earning First-Team All-ACC honors.
The Houston Texans selected Hopkins with the 27th overall pick in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
