Dylan Sampson was a phenom at his Louisianna high school, where he broke the school records of their previous all-time leading rusher – Eddie Lacy. He was a four-star recruit that committed to Tennessee over many other offers.
For his first two seasons, he worked in a committee with Jabari Small and Jaylen Wright. Last year, Small (Titans) and Wright (Dolphins) left for the NFL and Sampson had the chance to take the backfield for himself. He was electric.
Sampson broke school single-season records with 22 rushing touchdowns and 1,491 rushing yards. He also set new records with total touchdowns scored (22), points scored (132), and consecutive games with a rushing touchdown (11). He was a First-Team All-SEC and most notably, the SEC Offensive Player of the Year. He declared for the NFL draft last December.
