Quiet Hampton And His Heavy Workload May Eventually Spark A Speech

Posted Oct 30, 2024
As loud as Omarion Hampton is when his pads pop defenders on the football field, he’s quiet off of it. Very little can get UNC’s All-America running back to talk. Not even passing the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the second straight season, like he did against Virginia on Saturday. Don’t expect Hampton to pound his chest and boast about the accomplishment.
