Northwestern football’s No. 10 player: DB A.J. Hampton Jr.

In continuing our postseason football coverage, we are counting down Northwestern’s Top 10 best players from the 2022 season. We’ve created a composite averaging the rankings of each of our staffer’s respective lists, revealing who we believe were the Wildcats’ best from this year.

Everybody’s lists are different, so for each player, we’ll have a staff member break down why they voted what they voted. To start off, senior cornerback A.J. Hampton:

Jake Mozarsky (9)

Stats: 21 total tackles, 18 solo, one tackle-for-loss, one fumble recovery

Hampton, a senior from Warren, Arkansas, came into the season after getting all Big Ten honorable mentions in 2021.
