Who Would Campbell Like To Hear From: "USC isn't recruiting me but, I want to hear from them. They've always been one of my favorite schools and they produce great running backs.
What He'll Look For In A School: "I don't know what I want to major in but when I do, that will weigh in heavily. Other than that, the schools atmosphere says a lot about a program. I want to go somewhere that has a great football environment."
"Distance won't matter. It can factor in because of my family but I don't see it playing that much of a role in my decision. I have to make the best choice for me. If the school can help advance me in life, than distance won't matter."

SCOUT'S TAKE
Campbell is a fundamental running back. He is patient, knows how to read his blocks, has above average change of direction and vision, and once he reaches the 2nd and 3rd level, he has the ability to run away from defenders. He must work on his pad level as he tends to run upright (exposing his legs) and is tackled by one defender way too often.
