Aeryn Hampton flips to Alabama football from Texas on early national signing day
Flipmas time is here.
Alabama football struck on the first day of the early signing period, flipping four-star athlete Aeryn Hampton. He was a Texas commit since July then made the switch Wednesday to Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide.
Hampton is a 5-foot-10, 175-pound athlete who is ranked No. 11 at his position and is the No. 38 prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, per the 247Sports Composite. He ranks No. 224 among all 2024 prospects.
The flip of Hampton from the Longhorns is noteworthy; he's a Texas native, playing for Daingerfield High School in Daingerfield, Texas.
Holmon Wiggins, Alabama's assistant head coach of offense/wide receivers, is listed as his primary recruiter. Secondary coach Travaris Robinson is the secondary recruiter.
