Daytona Beach, FL —DME Academy is proud to welcome Ryan Hampton, one of the nation’s premier basketball prospects, to our boys’ basketball program. Hampton is a five-star junior and ranked No. 5 in the Class of 2027. He will compete in Daytona Beach for the next two seasons.

Elite Basketball Recruit Joins DME Academy

The 6-foot-7 guard/wing is the younger brother of NBA guard RJ Hampton. Like his brother, Ryan has quickly become one of the most recruited players in the country. He already holds offers from Kansas, USC, Louisville, Villanova, Memphis, Auburn, and several other top programs.

Hampton’s Path to Daytona Beach

Hampton brings championship experience to DME. After beginning his career at Rockwall-Heath High School (TX), he spent time at South Central Prep (OK) before playing for Jermaine O’Neal’s Dynamic Prep (TX). There, he helped lead the program to a runner-up finish at the prestigious Chipotle Nationals.

On the Nike EYBL circuit with Drive Nation, Hampton stood out as one of the most efficient scorers in the country, averaging more than 25 points per game this summer.

“Ryan is a special talent, and he comes from a great family,” said DME Head Coach Matt Panaggio. “We are excited to get a chance to help him continue to grow and reach his potential here at DME for the next two years.”

Building on DME’s Winning Culture

With his athleticism, length, and ability to score at all three levels, Hampton will make an immediate impact. He strengthens an already talented roster and will help DME as we look to defend our state championship this season.
