College football journeyman [autotag]Maurice Hampton[/autotag] is set to join his fourth program.
The former LSU defensive back, who played at Memphis this past season and previously at Samford, is back in the transfer portal. A former football and baseball player at LSU, he appeared in 12 games as a defensive back from 2019-20.
He opted to transfer to Samford, where he only played baseball over the next two seasons. The Memphis native reignited his football career in 2023 when he transferred to his hometown team, but he didn’t record a stat in his only season with the Tigers as he suffered a preseason injury.
The 23rd-round 2019 MLB draft pick appeared in 15 games in his two seasons with the LSU baseball team. He later appeared in 54 games over two seasons with the Bulldogs.
