Omarion Hampton Enters 2025 NFL Draft
North Carolina’s star running back Omarion Hampton has announced his decision to enter the 2025 NFL Draft.
Hampton’s departure marks the end of an exceptional college career that saw him etch his name in UNC’s record books.
Hampton’s final season was particularly impressive:
- 1,660 rushing yards in 12 games
- 15 touchdown runs
- 2,033 all-purpose yards (new UNC single-season record)
His stellar performance placed him second in the nation for rushing yards, trailing only Ashton Jeanty. Hampton’s career total of 3,565 rushing yards ranks fourth all-time in UNC history.
ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. currently ranks Hampton as the second-best running back prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft. This high ranking suggests Hampton could be an early-round selection.
Hampton’s decision comes as UNC prepares for a new era under incoming head coach Bill Belichick. While Belichick’s arrival generated excitement, it wasn’t enough to keep Hampton in college for another year. The talented running back expressed his long-held dream of playing in the NFL as a key factor in his decision to declare for the draft.
