Another historically black college that used to have wrestling that no longer does, Hampton University. I wasn't able to find out a whole lot about Pirate wrestling but I do believe I can name their best wrestler.

| Sylvius Moore |
Moore won Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association titles for the Pirates in 1934 & 1935, as he was also named All-CIAA in football.
In the 1942-1943 season Moore became a coach at Hampton coaching football, basketball, tennis, wrestling & his most successful sport swimming. All in all he coached seven swim teams to CIAA team titles. He coached until the 1984-1985 season.
Later in life he ran an organization that taught swim lessons to individuals in the area.
