Northwestern football has already seen its fair share of players enter the transfer portal after the window opened on Dec. 5. A talented defensive back just became the latest to join the pack.

AJ Hampton announced Monday that he would be entering the  portal with 1 remaining year of eligibility. The 5th year senior has played in 33 total games for the Wildcats.

Hampton’s best season was in 2021. As a senior, Hampton deflected 12 passes, totaled 40 tackles and recovered 2 fumbles, forcing one of his own. In 2022, Hampton totaled 21 tackles and a fumble recovery.

He’s a talent that will certainly shine at another school.
