He was a hoot to watch in highschool. My son played with him on the George County high school football team. Eric was primarily considered a basketball prospect in HS until the FB coach talked him into trying his talents at FB. I don't think Eric even knew the rules of footall when he began. He started out as a safety and a kick returner, but every time he touched the ball he would score. He would score more TDs on interception returns and kick returns than our offense was scoring.
Whenever Eric "touched" the ball the George County fans would all stand up...anticipating the fireworks that ususally followed.
The word was always that the best basketball player on campus played football and this was when Dampier, Darryl Wilson and crew were there.

Played some with him at the tin gym and yes only Clarence Weatherspoon and Chris Jackson were at his level.

I wuz there Love Dak but that was the most Herculean act I ever saw in a MSU uniform.
Fat fingers sorry
Photo is still surreal. Looks photoshopped but I was there and saw it happen
I was sitting on that north end. I thought Taite threw it out the back of endzone.
And that wasn't even his most amazing catch that day. That catch was him running back to catch Taite's throw at mid field, spin around and make everyone with Crimson on look like a middle school kid running the ball the other way. There were at least two guys following him when he caught it
No comments on the Tennessee game where JWS threatened to leave DT in Knoxville if he didn’t throw to Moulds every play? They still couldn’t stop him.
Erick Dampier was the 10th pick in the draft and had a 16-year NBA career. Only like the 99.9999th percentile of basketball players can claim that. "The word" was full of ****.The word was always that the best basketball player on campus played football and this was when Dampier, Darryl Wilson and crew were there.
