Former LSU defensive back and outfielder Maurice Hampton re-entered the NCAA transfer portal this week.

Hampton, a former 2019 four-star safety from Memphis, Tenn., played in 13 games during LSU's national championship run in 2019 and played in eight games with five starts as a sophomore in 2020.

On the baseball diamond, an early injury in 2019 kept Hampton out of the lineup during a season that was ultimately canceled due to Covid-19. He played in five games in 2021 as a reserve outfielder.

He ended up transferring to Samford to play baseball and then to Memphis to play football.

Take him back and put him on the diamond.

I remember him being a large safety and wanted him to play LB like Adrian Mayes or Eric Alexander.

Believe he got injured after the 2019 season and didn’t get back to specs.

I would take this guy back in a heart beat. He tracked down Jalen Hurts in open field against Oklahoma, laid the wood on him and knocked him backwards. That impressed me because Hurts is a load for a college DB to bring down.

Didn’t he knock back a top 10 mlb contract to come back to LSU? You have to feel for the kid

He was drafted in the 23rd round…

I’m pretty sure that was because he put out a crazy figure and said I would only sign for this. He would’ve been a 1st or 2nd round pick
