“Humphrey’s performance at the 7A state final was one of the most memorable in Alabama history—following the footsteps of his talented siblings to help the Buccaneers secure another title. He elevated himself into one of the top 10 individuals in history in the 300-meter hurdles while still maintaining an elite level in the 110 hurdles and 400-meter dash.”

Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-3, 175-pound senior clocked a personal-best time of 14.00 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles at the Class 7A state meet this past season, one of two individual victories that helped lead the Buccaneers to the state title as a team. Humphrey also broke the tape in the 300 hurdles (36.00), and anchored the winning 4x400 relay quartet’s state-record time of 3:15.49. At this month’s Great Southwest Classic, he PR’d to take second in the 300 hurdles, and his time of 35.52 ranked No. 2 in the nation among prep competitors in the 2018 as well as the No. 13 clocking in U.S. high school history. Humphrey also earned silver in the 110 hurdles at GSW, and his PR in the event at the state meet ranked No. 47 nationally this spring.
