Hampton is a hard-working young defensive lineman with great size, already standing around 6’3″, 250 pounds. He’s developing on a loaded Corvian defensive front, giving him the opportunity to learn and compete alongside some high-level talent. Hampton already holds an SEC offer from South Carolina, which was his first Division I offer. With his size, movement ability, work ethic, and plenty of development still ahead of him, his recruitment could really take off this season.

Hampton didn’t play much varsity ball last year behind two future Power Four defensive tackles, but he has tremendous upside and earned a South Carolina offer earlier this offseason. His size and speed should allow him to dominate at the 2A level once he cracks the rotation. That said, there’s no rush to get him on the varsity field. As he progresses, look for Hampton to become a productive defender.
