I really want to know the backstory because size and highlights he look like a 4 star wide receiver. I think he just started playing football. But I can see him get some serious playing time this year
Love this late add. Wouldn't surprise me if he sees the field this year.
He that big body receiver that Illinois needs this yearLove this late add. Wouldn't surprise me if he sees the field this year.
I 17 year old, out if school and very board so I did a little research and 2 thing really pop out 1 one was he quarterback is a 4 star committed to UNC so Illinois probably was watching highlights of quarterback and noticed him and he maybe just started playing wr because if you look up his name on Twitter and scroll down a little than it was a juco named trinity valley community college said he was apart of the team as a 6'4 190 defensive end

My guess is the connection came through track. Maybe even cumby and/or beason. But you could be on to something. His film is lacking and most of it focuses on the ball, so play action stays on the qb. Can’t see a lot of his separation, moves, and even catches.
but it seems like a pretty good pick up to me.
Mind you from the story I read he put those numbers up without having a quarterback until 4 or 5 weeks into the season.How could he possibly be stealth?
"Campbell had 21 receptions for 545 yards and seven touchdowns, helping lead Fort Bend Marshall to a Texas 5A D2 state runner-up finish. He also ran track and ran an 11.06-second 100-meter dash this spring."

The offense they ran before malik's transfer was approved was strictly run and shot screens, then midway through the season a 4 star QB was finally ruled eligible and immediately started throwing the ball. So his 21 for 545 a 7 is very impressive since he had a few games where he never touched the ball... so putting up the numbers in half of a season and winning a championship makes him very impressive and electric.
I cant wait to see him play with Isaiah....
Seems like a very nice pickup for us.
It doesn't but it I glad he is a IlliniThose are good numbers and his speed and height make him rare. I still don’t understand why coaches didn’t see a track superstar at 6’4 or 6’5 that played football for a team that played in the Texas 5a state championship game. None of it makes sense

YeahSeems a little light for a defensive end.
I didn't run track I did field but that some legit speed.I saw Dalevon Campbell run at a track meet about a month ago. He was on a 4x100 team that ran a 39.99. I don’t know how much you guys know about track, but in a time like that, the guy coming out of the blocks would be the slowest and have to run like a 10.5. That means everyone else is averaging like a 9.8 100m split. He also runs like a low 21 200 which is legit. Based on measurables alone we have ourselves a diamond. If he can catch and run good routes we might have a draft pick.

FIFY.
This speed and height is nfl caliber. Add hands and route running, he is easily a draft pick.
From what I have read. He basically wins every jump ball and is great at making adjustments. I wonder how that changes against good defenders. But talk about him and beason going at it every day, they will both improve tremendously
