Why? Here’s what NFL.com draft analyst Chad Reuter had to say:
“Campbell could have played Division I basketball after helping his Cedar Falls High School squad win Iowa state titles as a junior and senior. He chose to sign with the Hawkeyes’ football program, though, playing in 11 games as a reserve as a true freshman. He missed the first three games of 2020 due to an illness but came back to play in five games off the bench (29 tackles, 4.5 for loss with one sack, one interception, three pass breakups). Campbell broke out as a junior, garnering third-team All-Big Ten Conference and the team’s Defensive Most Valuable Player honors by leading the FBS with 143 tackles (3.5 for loss) in 14 starts. He also intercepted two passes, returning one for a touchdown, broke up six others, and forced one fumble. He starred for the Hawkeyes again in 2022 (128 tackles, 5.5 for loss in 13 starts), winning the Dick Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker and garnering first-team Associated Press All-American and Big Ten Conference Defensive Player of the Year and Linebacker of the Year recognition. Campbell also received the 2022 William V. Campbell Award, also known as the Academic Heisman.” Tap for more from Chad Reuter.
