Posted Feb 16, 2022
Cleveland (NC) High School running back Omarion Hampton is completing his final few classes before beginning his next chapter at UNC. The 2021 North Carolina Gatorade player of the year is a part of one of the best recruiting classes in Tar Heels history. Ask him what his goals are and he will tell you, he wants to play. "My goal is to start," Hampton said.
