Four dimensional analysis on Hampton:
Services: 247 composite NR, On3 consensus NR, 247 NR, On3 NR, Rivals NR, ESPN NR [In baseball, I'm not sure what his current Perfect Game ranking is but in June 2022 it was #166, a decline from being #49 in August 2020 when he initially committed to South Carolina for baseball. I'm not sure what his Prep Baseball Report ranking is but in June 2021 it was #357.]
Offers: Stanford [One site also lists a Charlotte offer, but Hampton announced Stanford as his first dual-sport offer so it's not clear if he had an offer to play football from anybody but Stanford. He has baseball offers from South Carolina, LSU, Vanderbilt, and Virginia Tech, among many others]
Production: Baylor does not share stats on Maxpreps, which is always a bummer for me when we can't dig more deeply into a prospect's performance, but Hampton self-reported 1,889 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns as a senior and 1,626 rushing yards on 234 attempts (6.9 yards per carry) and 18 touchdowns as a junior. He rushed for ten yards more per game as a senior (145) than as a junior (135) so while it's frustrating not to have yards per carry numbers for his senior year the production seems very similar to the prior year. In terms of competition, Maxpreps rated the senior year competition as better than two thirds of Stanford recruits. Baylor did list baseball stats. As a junior, Hampton batted .396 (third on the team) with a .476 on base percentage (fourth), .780 slugging percentage (third), and 1.256 on base plus slugging (third) and 31 runs (second), 31 RBI (third), 14 doubles (tied for first), zero triples (the team had two), seven home runs (fourth), 11 stolen bases (next closest was four), 13 walks (tied for fourth), 22 strikeouts (tied for second), one hit by pitch (tied for seventh), 51 left on base (third). On defense he didn't make an error on 32 chances and had five outfield assists. As a pitcher he was 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA (fifth) in four appearances that netted out to 9.1 innings pitched (eighth) and giving up eight hits, one walk, and one hit by pitch. In Perfect Game events over the summer, which is a whole other season, he hit .489 with 12 doubles, two triples, and two home runs. His best athletic marks at Perfect Game events were a 6.50 60 yard dash (98.77 percentile of baseball prospects nationally), 1.51 10 yard split (97.90 percentile of baseball prospects nationally), 83 mile per hour fastball velocity, 90 miles per hour outfield velocity (compared to 86 for Brock Jones), and 93 miles per hour exit velocity (95.81 percentile, compared to 96 miles per hour for Brock Jones).
Highlights: The junior highlights show a workmanlike back who lacks breakaway speed, disappointing for me given the speed clocked at baseball camps. The signature game of his junior year based on highlights was in the regular season against Ensworth, which had future players for Michigan, Kentucky, Duke, Richmond, Toledo, and Furman, and was a game in which Hampton's highlights are shocking it's all just one game. It's an endless reel of plays, including several good receiving plays. My favorite thing from the highlights of that game is that Hampton got the best of 2024 Michigan LB commit Mason Curtis, who didn't have a single highlight (his reel just showed one tackle of Hampton's backup) whereas Hampton broke at least one Curtis tackle and ran by him several times. The two teams rematched in the playoffs and while Hampton's highlight reel for that one was a quarter as long, he had 44 carries (!) for 252 yards. That's more grinding than explosive, which is a fair descriptor of his highlights generally and all of the 5-20 yard runs they showcase. The other lengthy highlight was against Father Ryan, a game in which Hampton did not hesitate to run up the gut against Purdue DL signee Drake Carlson. Both players had their moments, with Carlson stuffing Hampton for a loss and forcing a fumble and Hampton with some effective runs. Hampton's top highlight was a 70+ yard run up the middle, although it wasn't a touchdown as Hampton got caught from behind (and as far as I could tell it wasn't one of Father Ryan's two major college football corners who caught him). Rabun Gap-Nacoochee had a talented senior class, including two current Vanderbilt front seven players, and Hampton had a good number of highlights, including a 25-ish yard run off left tackle in which he darted past the ineffectual matador attempt by Vanderbilt DL Linus Zunk. The highlights for Vanderbiilt edge Darren Agu showed two plays in which Hampton was stopped for short gain but overall it was evidently a productive game against a fairly talented defense. Hampton also had a good number of highlights against Knoxville Catholic, although they tended to be running to the other side of the line from Tennessee DL signee Trevor Duncan, who had a few highlights on his reel of keeping Hampton to short gain (although again the overall impression is a productive game for Hampton). Against McCallie, the best team Baylor faced, Tennessee 2024 DL commit Carson Gentle resoundingly got the better of the matchup, with not much for Hampton to show. Hampton had more to show in the regular season matchup against the other good team he faced, Montgomery Bell Academy, but it wasn't earth-shattering and didn't involve matching up against major college football players, and Hampton was bottled up in the playof loss to MBA. The senior highlights were similar but showed more pass blocking (and Carson Gentle's highlights show Hampton even gamely trying to take on Gentle in space) and perhaps a few more house calls, but by no means very many for a Power Five RB prospect and still little sign of the speed I'd hope for. He also faced somewhat fewer future major college football opponents. As a senior, the Ensworth highlights were shorter but again did not have anything of future Wolverine Mason Curtis putting anything on tape against Hampton. The senior matchup against Drake Carlson and Father Ryan was much more modest than the year before and Carlson got the better of the comparative highlights, with numerous tackles for loss or short gain, though Hampton having 144 yards and three touchdowns in that game is an indication of his grinding workhorse high school persona. 2024 DL Dion Stutts appears to have missed the game when Baylor played Memphis University School and the same appears to be true for 2024 DL Hank Weber in the Brentwood Academy game.

A nice favor for Taylor to do for Esquer. This is a legitimate baseball prospect and not a legitimate football prospect. Among historical Stanford recruits, the comparison that comes to mind is Tyrone McGraw. A good high school running back with good speed but not in a way good enough to get any major programs to be interested, and impeccable Stanford Man credentials. The difference is the bona fide baseball chops and while I don't think Hampton is quite the two sport prospect Brock Jones was, Hampton seems like a useful outfielder. It's a sign of how far Stanford's running back room has fallen that we can justify a scholarship here (assuming he's a scholarship recruit, and if he ever plays in football he will automatically count as a football scholarship due to the two-sport recruitment). At the same time, there's no real downside for Taylor. Do a favor for Esquer, get a guy with a good build and on paper foot speed, and get some depth at one of the very weakest positions in our pipeline. An optimist could also argue that Taylor and Agnew know what they want/need at RB and may have a vision for how this could be a useful piece. The pessimist might argue that Taylor and Agnew are suffering from FCS goggles and don't yet know the talent they'll need at the Pac-12 level. As a general matter, RB is an important position for Taylor offenses and our pipeline looks badly under siege if we don't get LJ Martin back in the fold. Martin is a key recruitment to watch, but realistically the fact we brought Hampton in is likely insurance against an anticipated loss of Martin.

Have to admit when a took a look at his hs video I wondered whether they planned to bulk him up to play fullback. No separation speed and no quick feet. Baseball looks a better fit.
