EKU offer.

If I’m not mistaken, this young man has an offer from UK for baseball as well?

Go ahead and add TCU to the list. Kid is a stud. Could potentially go down as the best running back in OHS history. That’s saying a lot.

Hampton is a tremendous RB and his list will only grow with many more and likely bigger schools will hop on board when they see what this young man can do.  I wish him the best going forward and hope he has at least 200 yards a game on the ground for every game but one this season.  Ha!

But I personally am hesitant to put him above the Great Mark Higgs who is "still" #14 on the all-time rushing KHSAA lists.  

But great player!  Know all 11 BG defenders had their focus on him the last time O and BG played.  They had to.  

Kid is a beast but Mark Higgs was one of the best running backs to ever carry the football at UK and then had many productive years in the NFL.

Running a 4.4 40 at 6 foot 200 lbs. will do that for you!

West Virginia has extended an offer. 

First Quisenberry commits, now Hampton is in their sights. The Mountaineers are moving on Kentucky kids.

Virginia Tech has offered.

One of the big brain schools has offered.

Stanford, Minnesota, North Carolina, Duke, Syracuse, Indiana, and Liberty have offered since we last checked in on Mr. Hampton. 

He's up to #4 in the 247Sports prospect rankings in Kentucky. 

He’s rated just behind Harbin but seems to have a lot more big offers than Harbin.  Stanford just offered yesterday (Oct 8).

Hampton #1 in state On3 rankings, #1 instate 247 Composte rankings, #20 RB in USA, .9122 ranking.  On3 #17 RB in USA.

Now that we have Demarcus will this help him top tier SEC offers? Or does Demar know that kind of coaches?
