Willie Lampkin IV brings rare leverage, wrestling-born nastiness, and steady line versatility
In the 2024 season, Willie Lampkin IV stood out for doing the dirty work that doesn’t always show up in box scores: he brought elite natural leverage, quick feet, and a relentless finishing mentality to North Carolina’s interior line. He’s been praised for strong hand technique, balance in pass protection, and positional flexibility across guard and center, while his undersized frame is the main NFL-style concern. In 2024, he was part of a Tar Heels offense that helped Omarion Hampton run for 1,504 yards and ranked 7th nationally in total offense at 491.2 yards per game.
