Club career

Born in Georgia, Hampton was raised in Chatham County and played high school soccer with Islands High School.[1] On January 9, 2020, he signed a USL academy contract with USL League One club Tormenta.[2] The contract allowed him to play professionally while retaining his college soccer eligibility.[2] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic delaying the USL League One season and cancelling the USL League Two season, Hampton did not make an appearance during 2020 season.[3][1]

Prior to the 2021 season, Hampton re-signed with Tormenta on a USL academy contract.[4] On May 11, 2021, Hampton signed with Tormenta's USL League Two reserve side Tormenta 2.[5] He made his debut for the side that same day in the season opener against Southern Soccer Academy, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute in the 3–1 victory.[6]

On May 29, 2021, Hampton made his senior debut in the league against Forward Madison, coming on as an 85th-minute substitute in the 1–3 defeat.[7]

In the fall of 2021, Hampton moved to play college soccer at Mercer University.[8]
