Evan Hampton, a running back for Vanderbilt football, left vs. Kentucky with an injury.
LEXINGTON, KY — Vanderbilt football's running back Evan Hampton exited the game on a cart in the first quarter due to an injury, with the nature and origin of the injury still unknown. The freshman from Owensboro, Ky., has amassed seven rushes for 18 yards this season, with his first catch coming against Kentucky on October 24, though he gained only one yard on that play.
In addition to his role as a rusher, Hampton has also contributed as a kick returner, netting four returns for 70 yards this season. The Commodores (3-4, 0-4) had taken a 3-0 lead just before Hampton's exit, following a field goal. Aria Gerson from The Tennessean reported on this incident.
