Donovan Shepard gives Hampton a compact, versatile backfield spark
In the 2025 season, Donovan Shepard flashed as a useful dual-threat RB for Hampton: CBS Sports lists him at 75 carries for 322 rushing yards, plus 19 catches for 143 receiving yards and a score[11]. ESPN’s game log shows he handled weekly volume without a fumble all season, and his receiving usage hints at a back who can help on third downs and in space[5]. At 5-foot-9, 175 pounds, he profiles as a quick, low-center-of-gravity runner rather than a bruiser, which makes him a fit for teams that value movement, versatility, and reliability over highlight-reel size[2][14].
