Maruice Hampton, 14, of Memphis has already pledged to LSU, even though he won’t be signing until 2019. The cornerback prospect currently measures 5-foot-11, 190 pounds. Baseball publication Perfect Game rates Hampton, an outfielder, the No. 3 prospect of his class.
Hampton, who also had offers from Ole Miss and Vanderbilt, is LSU’s second pledge for the ’19 class, joining CB Derek Stingley.
His freshman highlights can be viewed below:
Andrew writes about sports to fund his love of live music and collection of concert posters. He strongly endorses the Hall of Fame campaigns of Fred Taylor and Andruw Jones.
