Hailing from Leeton in Southern NSW, GIANTS Academy graduate Jacob Hopper is a midfielder who's built a reputation as one of the toughest young midfielders in the AFL. Hopper debuted in his first season at the elite level, earning a NAB AFL Rising Star nomination for his impressive debut game. Hopper enjoyed his first injury-free pre-season heading into the 2019 season and has become a significant cog in the GIANTS' engine room. Hopper joined the GIANTS' leadership group ahead of the 2021 season and capped off a stand-out season by signing a two-year contract extension.
