Bubba Hampton

Highly productive three-phase playmaker at the Texas 3A level for a storied East Texas program that has won state titles and produced numerous prospects. Recruited at receiver and in the secondary and could project to either side of the ball in the long term.

Displays a unique, somewhat unorthodox, but effective run-after-catch gait that regularly fuels chunk plays. Changes speeds particularly well and flashes elusive stop-start agility. Plays above his listed size in capability of high-pointing contested throws.

Tracks deeper throws well and shows some body control and adjustment nuance when required. Very good screen game weapon who could also present a dangerous drag target in the short game. Plays with good initial straight-line burst that eats up cushion. Short-area twitch laterally and downhill translate well to the return game. Three-sport athletic profile includes basketball and track. Ran in the 11.5 100-meter range as a junior in Spring 2023.

Athletic profile and on-field context reflect that often seen in corner prospects, but frame limitations might affect corner upside. If a defensive projection, nickel or safety more likely fits. Ball gets into his body at times. Shows functional long speed but can still squeeze more juice out of the top gear, as track data reflect. Faces significant jump in competition progressing from TXHSFB small-school ball to P5 opponents.

Intriguing, versatile athlete who plays aware regardless of alignment and has a knack for big plays. Projects as a high-major recruit who could become an impact player with a future beyond college.
