Hampton arrived at Chapel Hill in 2022 after playing in nearby Cleveland High School in Clayton North Carolina. He was the RB11 in the 2022 recruiting class and seen as a four-star recruit. From that recruiting class only Nick Singleton has become a household name.
Hampton took off in 2023, playing in an offense that featured Patriots QB Drake Maye. As a sophomore and junior while playing for the Tar Heels he went over 1,500 rushing yards in each season and had 15 rushing touchdowns each year.
