Sees 10 carries in win Sampson posted 10 carries for 37 yards during Saturday's 48-24 victory against Vanderbilt.

Impact Despite starting the season buried on the depth chart, Sampson carved out a decent role as a sophomore in 2023, rushing for 471 yards and seven touchdowns. He also caught 17 passes for 175 yards and an additional touchdown. Jaylen Wright is likely to return to the fold in 2024, but Jabari Small will move on, so Sampson could see an even larger share of touches next season.
