Hampton’s young DT Aaron Atkins brings size, captain’s DNA, and upside
Aaron Atkins is a freshman defensive tackle at Hampton in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds, with a background as a two-way lineman and team captain at Richmond’s Collegiate School. He has no posted college stats yet, so the appeal is in projection: he arrives with leadership traits, solid academic profile, and interior-line versatility that coaches love. If a staff wants a developmental trench worker with a high-motor feel and room to grow into college strength, Atkins looks like a sensible bet.
