BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Graduate quarterback of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï football team has been tabbed the Stats Perform FCS National Player of the Week as well as Big South/OVC Football Offensive Player of the Week. Teammate and redshirt-junior linebacker has been named Big South/OVC Football Defensive Player of the Week as announced by the league on Sept. 1.

Hampton and Young helped guide the Runnin’ Bulldogs to their largest come-from-behind win in program history after taking down then-No. 18 Western Carolina, 52-45, on Aug. 30. The Runnin’ Bulldogs trailed by as many as 28 points (35-7) in the second quarter before outscoring the Catamounts 45-10 the rest of the way.

Jamari Young led the Dawgs with 11 tackles.

Hampton, in his first career game with the Runnin’ Bulldogs, put his name in the books with a phenomenal performance both through the air and on the ground. After a slow start to the game against the Catamounts, Hampton went on to toss for 263 yards and a pair of touchdowns while also running for 132 yards and four scores, accounting for 80% of the team’s points.

On the defensive side of the ball, Young disrupted the Catamounts offense all night, leading the Dawgs with 11 tackles, including six of the solo variety. He also added a tackle for loss and sack on the evening as well as a forced fumble.

ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï returns to action this weekend, traveling to Atlanta, Ga. and Bobby Dodd Stadium to take on the Ramblin’ Wreck of Georgia Tech. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 6, and will be streamed on the ACC Network. You can follow along with live stats at .
