Former Longhorn offensive lineman Trey Hopkins will have his chance at the Lombardi Trophy. Hopkins appearance will make 17 straight seasons a Longhorn is represented in the Super Bowl.
Hopkins played in 37 games for the Longhorns from 2010-2013. He went undrafted in the 2014 NFL draft before finding a home in Cincinnati.
Rookie Joesph Ossai is also on the Bengals roster but has been on the injured reserve after suffering a preseason knee injury.
The Bengals made an improbable postseason run to make the Super Bowl. They won three nail-biter games against Las Vegas, Tennesee and Kansas City. Each game came down to the final play.
Hopkins will look to add his name to a long list of former Longhorns with a Super Bowl ring. Most recently, Alex Okafor won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs in 2019.
The Bengals will take on the Rams on Feb. 13 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
