The LSU football and baseball team received bad news Thursday when it was reported that sophomore outfielder/safety Mo Hampton Jr. would be entering the transfer portal.
On the football field Hampton played in eight games this past season, recording 27 tackles. As a freshman, Hampton played in 13 games and recorded 10 tackles. Hampton also started against Arkansas in place of an injured Grant Delpit and his efforts in that game were rewarded by the SEC as the conference’s freshman of the week. Hampton’s emergence helped stabilize the the 2019 LSU secondary as Delpit worked his way back from his injured ankle.
