All-American running back Omarion Hampton aims for new heights in 2024

Posted Aug 28, 2024
Omarion Hampton is a man of few words. But on the football field, he’s anything but a quiet force. At the ACC Kickoff event in July, Hampton was dressed to the nines in a suit. A silver chain with a large diamond-encrusted No. 28 hung prominently against his UNC blue tie. In that outfit, the junior running back revealed his goal for the year: 2,000 yards. (Daily Tar Heel)
