08/10/22 - Maddox Kopp, rSr/2026, Houston Christian, 6-5, 235 (DS#999 QB) + More +

With four boys bouncing off the walls of the Kopp household, the games never stopped. Well, maybe sometimes they stopped. "Our rule was if someone started crying we had to stop." laughed Braden Kopp, older brother of CU Buffs freshman quarterback Maddox Kopp. "We were always competitive, always outside playing sports." It should come as little surprise, then, that all four Kopp siblings have followed in the footsteps of their father, former University of Tennessee-Chattanooga tennis player Will Kopp, as scholarship Division I athletes. Braden played offensive tackle at Vanderbilt, Miller is a senior forward for the Indiana men's basketball team, and Anderson is a senior guard at Missouri-Kansas City. Maddox, meanwhile, is starting his first preseason camp in Boulder looking to move up the CU Buffs quarterback depth chart this fall.

After transferring in January from the University of Houston, the 6-foot-5, 220-pound redshirt freshman has work to do in order to catch up to incumbent starter Brendon Lewis, sophomore backup J.T. Shrout and redshirt freshman Drew Carter. Kopp said he's focused on getting better every day. "When I decided to come here I knew that I just wanted an opportunity to compete and that's what I'm doing every day, I love it." Kopp said. "We are pushing each other and it's been great." - Denver Post
