3-star athlete Ashton Hampton commits to Clemson Tigers

Tallahassee (Fla.) Florida State Univ. School three-star athlete Ashton Hampton has committed to the Clemson Tigers. He announced the news on Twitter.

He chose the Tigers over Arkansas, Florida, Florida State and Louisville

The 6-foot-2, 175-pounder is the No. 702 overall prospect and No. 29 athlete in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 98 player in Florida.

“My dad and coach Reed played together in NFL Europe,” Hampton told On3’s Jeremy Johnson earlier in the month. “They used to talk and he offered me back in December. Ever since then, I’ve been able to bond with him. Take visits, meet the players and the other recruits. It’s been pretty nice. It’s a good culture. Clemson is a different type of program and a different fit. They’re different from all the other programs that I took official visits to. They’re really family oriented.”

Ashton Hampton currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $15.8K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
