Duke football has reportedly found its new cornerbacks coach. FootballScoop.com reported on Monday that Tulane defensive backs coach Chris Hampton is set to become the newest addition to David Cutcliffe's staff.

Hampton's arrival fills the vacancy created by Derek Jones' departure this past week. Jones, who had been at Duke since 2008, left the Blue Devils staff to become the new cornerbacks coach at Texas Tech.

Hampton first joined the Tulane staff in 2016 and oversaw consistent success during his time with the program. After working with a secondary in 2017 that limited opponents to an average of 225.7 passing yards per game, Hampton oversaw one of the American Athletic Conference’s top pass defenses in 2018, as Tulane led the nation in passes broken up. The Green Wave recorded an NCAA-record 20 pass breakups during the team's win over ECU that November.

Hampton was recognized by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) with the 35 Under 35 Award at the end of the 2018 season for the efforts showcased by his secondary.

Prior to his run with Tulane, Hampton had stints as the defensive backs coach at McNeese State (2012-2015) and Central Arkansas (2011). He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Arkansas State in 2008 before serving in the same capacity at Georgia Tech from 2009-2010.

Hampton, a native of Memphis, Tennessee, was a safety at South Carolina from 2004-2007.

Hampton isn't the only new arrival to Duke's staff this offseason. Offensive line coach Jim Bridge took the same position at Memphis and Cutcliffe hired Gators' offensive analyst Greg Frey to replace him.

Duke is coming off a 5-7 finish to the 2019 campaign. Entering his thirteenth year as head coach of Duke, Cutcliffe will assume Offensive Coordinator duties for the first time since a one year stint as Associate Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach at Tennessee, his second time taking over that role, in 2006-07, the year before he took over the Duke program.
