Quote:While the offense struggled for much of the season, Hooper and fellow redshirt freshmen Eric Cotton and Greg Taboada re-established the tight end position for Stanford after a down year for the position in the passing game. Hooper was the biggest threat of the bunch, catching 35 passes for 428 yards and two touchdowns.
In fact, he led Pac-12 tight ends in receiving in his first year of college ball. Next best was Oregons Pharaoh Brown with 25 receptions and 420 yards.
