Hampton was an end in college and for the first year or two in the pros.  Switched to tackle as the knee operations grew in number (he had ten knee operations all told).

QuoteCapps has recorded a 390 pound bench press, 585 squat and 365 power clean in recent testing.

Eff, can Herb even do anything with him at this point?  Those numbers are good for most of our linemen.

He has accomplished all of his lifts using the Star City Gym, and Star City's coaches, and is still a young man.   With the UA's strength, conditioning and nutrition facilities and coaches, he should be able to increase all of his lifts (barring injury). 
Go Hogs!

Strong as an ox. The D line is taking shape to deal with big, strong and fast SEC offensive lines.

My nephew is friends with him from baseball.  Capps is a high quality player but more than that he is a truly high quality individual that we will be proud to have in Razorback red.  He IS the kind of uncommon young man CBB is looking for.  So glad he chose us and yes, he still has room to get stronger which is freaking scary.

He is a really great baseball player.  Played really high level travel ball with a couple of other guys from Star City since they were real young on a Benton/Bryant area team.  He is a good basketball player as well.  Just a great all around athlete.  He is a better person than you can imagine.  He is and has always been a very humble young man.  His dad played tightend at A State for a year or two around 88-89.  He was a good athlete as well.

I have seen Star City do a suicide squeeze with him coming home from 3rd. It's pretty intimidating!

Yes he can.  Great hand & eye coordination. And good speed for a big man.

He looks great, but the funny thing is the coach at Star City saying he has never coached anyone like him... Dude you coach at Star City, thats like getting a burger at 5 Guys after only eating at McDonalds and saying 5 Guys burgers are special.

Hampton was a DT through his entire Razorback career. 

In 1975, for example, our starting DE's were Ivan Jordan and Johnnie Meadors

Star City has had some studs but either they didn't get much ink or didn't have the grades to go Div. 1. In Thornton's case, he wanted to go to Arkansas but didn't get recruited by Hootie Dale. So he took his talents down to Magnolia. He was going to transfer to Arkansas, but family and friends told him to stick it out at SAU. He did and won DPOY back to back, gave Jake Locker fits at the Senior Bowl and landed with the Eagles.

It is that attitude that nothing good comes out of south ark.  You must be relatives with one of the kids that Capps has run over in the past few years.

What side of the ball will he play at Arkansas?   I thought some on here was saying he may be a better Offensive tackle than a DT.

Where does he want to play?

He was recruited as an interior defensive lineman.  He has the talent to play offensive line as well but Beilema recruited him for defense.  He is very strong and a really good athlete especially for his size.  I watched him make plays while double and tripled team on every play last year.

Got his State Championship ring for baseball last night along with the rest of the Bulldogs.

What position does he play in baseball? Crazy thinking about a kid with sec dt size playing baseball. I bet he kinda stood out on the diamond.
What did you say? I missed it. Was distracted. My side piece was arguing with my side piece

Speed is always a factor to some degree, but where LB's are concerned not as important at other attributes, most of which can't be measured so easily as with a stopwatch. The ability to read ball movement and quickly intuit plays are easily more valuable than a few tenths of a second on a 40 time. Once more if he's running a 4.8 now he could be capable of a 4.6 or better with proper training.

This was one of things that always stuck out to me in Dick Butkus stories. Everyone that played with him said they never played with anyone faster on the field. Sideline to sideline nobody outran him and he was almost always where the ball was. Yet they also joke about how slow he was in a timed sprint. Raw speed obviously had little to do with his being one of the best LB's ever.

He will be D-line for sure and most likely interior.

I got a chance to watch him play at the regional at Malvern. He's very fluid and he can smoke a baseball. He never got lift on one at the tournament, but he hit a one hopper to the left field that never got above the knee and it got there in a blink. Easy athlete. For his size, he moves really well.
