October 24, 2017 | Football
WEST POINT, N.Y. - Sophomore quarterback Kelvin Hopkins Jr. was selected as the Army West Point Athletic Association's Athlete of the Week after leading Army on a game-tying scoring drive late in the game against Temple.Â
In his first lengthy time on the field in his career, Hopkins marched the Black Knights 79 yards in 14 plays to tie the Owls with one second remaining in the 31-28 overtime victory against Temple. Hopkins connected with senior Jermaine Adams in the corner of the end zone in the final second to complete the comeback.Â
Hopkins was 5-of-11 on the drive threw the air, but finished the drive by completing five of his last eight passes and spotted Adams for his first collegiate touchdown pass. He had a long pass of 21 yards during the drive with a nice toss to Kell Walker to setup a pair of passes to Adams to get in the end zone.Â
Hopkins, a native of Charlotte, also ran for 11 yards early in the drive to keep the chains moving after failing to complete a pass.Â
The Black Knights became bowl eligible with the win on Saturday and have accepted a bid into the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl on Dec. 23 in Fort Worth, Texas.Â
