FAYETTEVILLE — It happened four years later than Terry Hampton hoped, but he’s finally getting his shot to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Hampton, a fifth-year senior defensive tackle from El Dorado, transferred from Arkansas State University and has worked his way into the Razorbacks’ playing rotation.
Having appendicitis as a junior and a knee injury as a senior in high school impacted Hampton’s recruiting options.
“I definitely was a Razorback,” Hampton said of growing up cheering for the University of Arkansas.
