Hampton took two trips to Ann Arbor in April — including for the spring game — and he also has his official visit on the docket for next month. “Michigan is definitely a great program,” Hampton told Rivals’ Steve Wiltfong ($) earlier this month.
“I like their culture, the way they develop players, and how they compete at a high level every year. “The coaching staff has been real with me and I’ve built a good relationship with them. I feel like it could be a good fit because of how they use their players and prepare them for the next level.
