Rangy, physical cornerback with proven playmaking chops
Ashton Hampton is a good fit for a defense that wants a long, aggressive defensive back who can tackle, survive in coverage, and create turnovers. In 2025 at Clemson, he posted 45 tackles, 1 interception, 8 passes defended, and a sack, building on a freshman year that included 2 interceptions, a 53-yard pick-six, and Freshman All-America recognition. Evaluators consistently point to his physicality, awareness versus the run and screens, and NFL-caliber frame; the main question is whether his next step is consistency, not upside.
