Tyler Hopperton (born August 3, 1989) is an American college football coach. He is the head football coach for Mount St. Joseph University, a position he has held since 2017.[1] Hopperton was a standout linebacker at Mount St. Joseph from 2008 to 2011, before going into coaching at his alma mater, where he started off as the linebackers coach and special teams coordinator. Hopperton eventually became an assistant head coach in 2015, a position he held for two seasons until the retirement of head coach Rod Huber during the 2017 offseason. Hopperton was at first named the interim head coach for the 2017 season, but was eventually named the full-time head coach during the season. Since his hiring in 2017, Hopperton has led the Lions to three HCAC titles, and 2 NCAA Division III playoff appearances.[2]
