Omarion Hampton’s Career highlights and statistics

Let’s start from the beginning: his high school. Omarion Hampton began his football career as a running back at Cleveland High School in Clayton, North Carolina. The man there was known for his quick-running quirk. And everyone knows that football is undoubtedly something that every student is interested in at some point. Hampton pursued this interest as well, and once he entered the field, his entire life changed. The boy had a successful career in high school football during his second year (2019). And guess what? The young RB at the time racked up 2,402 yards for 35 touchdowns, exceeding 100 yards in all but one game. Simply incredible.

These stats led him to the University of North Carolina in 2022, where he made an immediate impact. In his rookie season, 2023, he rushed for 1,504 yards on 253 carries, averaging 5.9 yards per run and scoring 15 touchdowns. And things just got better from here. With the 2024 season approaching, Omarion Hampton became a disaster for other teams and improved even more. With 1,660 rushing yards on 281 runs, a 5.9-yard average, and 15 touchdowns, the man punched his ticket to the NFL. Phew! These are some indeed incredible achievements. And now that we know who he is, let’s look at his NIL.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Omarion Hampton the next big thing in the NFL, or just another overhyped college star?

Have an interesting take?

What is Hampton’s NIL deal worth?

NIL represents the Name, Image, and Likeness value of a player. Usually, the better the player, the higher his NIL. And simply looking at the stats, it can be assumed that Omarion Hampton does not have an ordinary NIL. Hampton’s NIL is $610,000 as of March 2025. Given his game, I know it’s a little less right now. But North Carolina’s head coach, Mack Brown, has already indicated that the RB has an external NIL of approximately $2.5 million from a different organization. Four times his present one.

This is fantastic for the running back, but who is sponsoring him with so much money?

Who are Omarion Hampton’s top NIL sponsors?

For the time being, no one knows which external company offered the RB the $2.5 million offer. But his current NIL agreement, at $610,000, is with Heels4Life, a North Carolina NIL collective. But what exactly does this company do? Actually, this organization pays footballers to appear at charitable events. Furthermore, the contract specifies how many and what type of appearances the players will have to make in the future. Except for this company, there is no further information on the RB’s endorsements or NIL.
