Gerard Griffin brings efficient, downhill juice to Hampton’s backfield
In the 2026 season, Hampton RB Gerard Griffin has 32 carries for 176 yards and 2 touchdowns, a sturdy 5.5 yards per carry that hints at efficiency more than volume[1]. At 5.5 yards a pop, he looks like a useful chain-mover and red-zone hammer: not flashy, but the kind of back who can punish missed tackles and keep drives on schedule[1]. If you want a reliable, physical runner who already shows scoring punch, Griffin is worth a close look—especially as a fit for a run-first, smash-mouth system[1].
