Good to see Sampson getting some hype

SEC's leading rusher averaging 8 yards a carry, 9th leading rusher in the country. Don't see it slowing down anytime soon. Pretty remarkable considering he has really only played like 5 quarters this year. 3 quarters against State and a half against Chattanooga. His balance is remarkable. Will probably be his last season here, enjoy it.

During the game they were talking about him being his high school homecoming queen.

King of the Queen City, sure.

It was a wonderful night to recognize our 2021 Homecoming Court and crown our Homecoming King, Dylan Sampson. Also recognized tonight were our staff who received "Shirt off my Back" awards from our senior football players, managers, and trainers

Sampson will likely be a high round NFL draft choice if he keeps racking up big numbers.
Do you view him as more NFL desirable than Wright was last year? Wright appeared to be a bit larger guy than Sampson yet was equally as fast if not faster. Seems like a good season would get Sampson drafted in 4-6 rounds at this point. Of course I’m no nfl draft analyst. Seems like a bright guy and a great teammate so maybe teams value those traits and he gets a round higher?

He’s a beast. And there’s a lot of other talent available in the RB room. If the offensive line can continue opening up the holes they have these last two games, we will have a monster season by land and air.
A beast? OK, I'll allow is as long you don't refer to him as Hank McCoy.

The 2025 NFL RB class will be significantly better than the 24 class. Read that 12 of top 15 FBS RBs will be in 25 draft, that along with how teams have valued RBs in the last few years we all could be disappointed in what round he goes.

As awesome as Nico is, this is the guy that should be in heisman talks for our team at the moment.

I agree that Sampson is likely a 4th to 6th round draft pick if he decides to turn pro after this season.

If he can rush for 100 to 125 yards against Alabama and Georgia, he will be drafted higher.

I doubt there's any true VN member that is surprised at Sampson owning HB1.
Wright and Small were serviceable, Sampson fits the mold.
