Expert Analysis
Ryan Lippert | Prep Redzone Scout
Eli Hampton Eli Hampton 6'0" | 185 lbs | LB Owensboro | 2026 State KY is a player who has been on my radar for a while now and continued to stand out as a junior. He lines up at inside linebacker where he is very reliable against the run. Hampton does a great job of reading his keys then flowing to the ball with a sense of urgency, using his strength to fight through blocks on his way to the ball carrier. He is a very reliable against tackler once he gets to the ball carrier, finishing his junior season with 104 tackles and three tackles for loss in 11 games. Hampton also finished this past season with one interception and scored a rushing touchdown on offense. Eli doesn’t currently hold any offers but he is a player who college coaches should have on their radar this season.

Eli Hampton Eli Hampton 6'0" | 185 lbs | LB Owensboro | 2026 State KY is a linebacker who jumped onto our radar with an impressive sophomore season. He lines up at middle linebacker where he is used very frequently in blitz packages. Hampton times his blitzes perfectly to shoot through the gap with a full head of steam before the opposing offensive line can react. He has also shown the ability to use his speed to run sideline to sideline to make tackles in the open field, as well as drop into coverage efficiently against the pass. Eli doesn’t currently hold any offers but he is a player who college coaches should keep any eye on over the next couple seasons.
