Explosive New Bern product still looking to cash in his big-play RB upside
Herring arrived at Hampton as a three-star recruit and one of North Carolina’s top 2023 prospects after a monster high-school résumé—over 4,000 rushing yards, including 2,141 yards and 31 touchdowns as a senior, plus back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. The appeal is obvious: he brings home-run speed, proven production, and a knack for creating offense in chunks. Hampton’s roster bio also notes he played in five games as a freshman, but there are no published college stats yet, so the big question is whether his burst and scoring touch translate into a larger role.
