Hampton Takes Charge of Oregon Defense | Oregon Ducks Football News

Oregon’s new defensive coordinator, Chris Hampton, is stepping into a high-stakes role as the Ducks aim for a national championship. With three years as co-defensive coordinator and experience leading Tulane, Hampton’s preparing rigorously—studying film, running chaotic practice drills to simulate real-game pressure. He’s counting on breakout performances from rising stars like sophomore CB Brandon Finney Jr. and transfer safety Koi Perich, alongside veteran linebackers Devon Jackson and Jerry Mixon, and a stacked defensive line. The season opener against Boise State on September 5th at noon PT on CBS could be the start of something special.
