- Sticking with the wide receiver trend, Rochester (NY) James Madison wideout Messiah Hampton was representing Miami with his wardrobe on Sunday. He plans to be back on campus Monday for the first day of spring football.
 


Hampton told On3’s Chad Simmons on Sunday that he will visit Miami (May 30), Oregon (June 6), Ohio State (June 13) and USC (June 20). On top of that, he also plans to take OVs to Penn State, Syracuse and North Carolina but hasn’t set those dates yet.

“Miami, Penn State, Ohio State and Syracuse have a great chance at getting one,” Hampton told On3. “Those schools make me feel special and I believe in their coaches, how they develop players and I have good relationships with coaches on each staff.”

Hampton added of the Hurricanes: “Coach KB (Kevin Beard) is a great dude who can not only coach receivers, but he is a coach who can help me grow spiritually and mentally. I really like him and trust his player development. Miami is a place I am getting back to soon.”
 


On3 MVP: WR Messiah Hampton​

Messiah Hampton delivered a sensational performance at Under Armour Miami. Making the trek to South Florida from Rochester, New York, Hampton proved unguardable all afternoon. At 6-foot-1, 180 pounds with plus length, Hampton pairs his translatable size with advanced technical skills. He was dominant during 1-on-1’s showing the ability to win at levels of the field while winning the vast majority, if not all of his reps. We saw him separate vertically, showing top-end speed and the ability to tempo his routes. He later shook a Power 4 cornerback prospect with a nasty out-breaking comeback route. The play speed and slick routes combined with excellent ball skills. Hampton consistently framed his catches away from his body and tracked the ball effortlessly over his shoulder. He also showed the ability to fight through contact at the catch point. It’s not every day we see a prospect from upstate New York come down to South Florida and dominate, but the On3 Outlier left little doubt he was the On3 MVP by day’s end. A bevy of programs are in line to land an official visit from Hampton.
