    staff, what's the likelihood that he spins down to DE?

    I don't see it. I saw him in person this year and he doesn't have a huge frame. He's also very good at linebacker. He was a receiver at Hutch his redshirt year before moving to LB in the spring so he's learning the position but he's athletic on the outside and he flies to the ball.

    He had 17 tackles in the game I saw him vs. Navarro and there was at least one college coach watching the game that was upset he didn't offer the kid in the spring. Tennessee was his only offer because there was no LB film of him but they happened to see one of his better practices. Even the Hutch coaches didn't really know what to expect.

    He has three to play three so give him a year of growing pains and he has a chance to be really good.

  • Thanks, Brian. Just b/c he's tall doesn't mean he has to fill out and spin down. Guy definitely has the speed to make an impact at OLB as long as he can continue to develop the instincts of the position. Like the upside of this guy. Hook em' and welcome!

    Tennessee also knew enough about Campbell to make an early offer to him because his former defensive coordinator at Hutchinson, Brandon Staley, joined the Vols' staff — first as an intern, then as a graduate assistant — earlier this year. New Tennessee coach Butch Jones apparently has decided not to retain Staley, which may have been a factor in Campbell's decision to switch to Texas.

    What is up with the lack of offers?

    Thanks for the analysis.

    He was pretty firm with the Vols until the coaching change so he stayed away from the recruiting process.
