Messiah Hampton is the real deal.
AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Oregon Ducks' wide receiver commit from Monroe (NY) High School proved that in a New York state semifinal on Saturday.
Hampton caught a touchdown. And he ran for a touchdown. And he even completed a pass, although not for a touchdown.
His rushing TD was the best highlight. He took a jet sweep, beat everyone to the sideline and ran away from Owego Free Academy.
It was a 77-yard score:
Hampton is a record-setting player at Monroe, which is a historic team. A school from the Rochester City School District has never even played in a state final. Hampton's Red Jackets will do just that next weekend in Syracuse.

If he can make plays like this one in college, too, Oregon will be very happy to have Messiah.
