Long, athletic SUU linebacker with JUCO-born edge
Hampton-Purifoy is a 6-3, 215-pound junior linebacker at Southern Utah who arrived with a reputation as a dynamic, instinctive defender after JUCO production at Laney College. Southern Utah describes him as versatile and physical in the middle of the field, which points to a fit for a defense that wants range, contact balance, and quick play recognition rather than a pure stat-padding thumper. The intriguing part: he brings size, athleticism, and a competitive feel that can translate into impact plays beyond the box score.
