Hampton Named Doak Walker Award National Running Back Of The Week

September 12, 2023 | Football

DALLAS, Texas - Sophomore running back Omarion Hampton has been named the Doak Walker Award National Running Back of the Week.

Last week against Appalachian State, Hampton rushed for a career-high 234 yards on 26 carries with three touchdowns against the Mountaineers. In addition, Hampton's 68-yard touchdown run was a career best.

Following his week two performance, Hampton was named the ACC Running Back of the Week.

This marks back-to-back week's that a North Carolina player has won a national award for their performance.

The Tar Heels will be back in action Saturday, hosting the Minnesota Golden Gophers at Kenan Stadium. North Carolina and Minnesota will kickoff at 3:30 and will be televised on ESPN.
