Q: When do you make the move to Iowa?

CAMPBELL: June 9th I move in.

Q: What are you looking forward to in starting workouts with the team?

CAMPBELL: Just meeting all the guys and getting to know the playbook.

Q: What have you been doing to prepare?

CAMPBELL: I’ve just been working hard and making sure I’m in the best possible shape for when I get there.

Q: What are your goals for your freshman year? Are you hoping to play or expecting to redshirt?

CAMPBELL: My goals are definitely to be a sponge, learn from the veterans and focus on the little details that can help me.

Q: What is the latest on your position coming in?

CAMPBELL: MIKE linebacker.

Q: What will it mean to you to walk out of the tunnel at Kinnick Stadium for the first time?

CAMPBELL: Honestly, walking out for the first time, it will mean a lot just because I’m from Iowa and I want to represent my community and state in a great way.

Q: When you look back at everything, what was it about Iowa that made it the choice for you?

CAMPBELL: In the whole nation, there is no better group of coaches or better people in a program and that’s why I joined because it felt like family.

Q: Lastly have you found out what number you will be wearing in college and what is your current height and weight?

CAMPBELL: I’m not sure on my number, but I’m 6’4”, 215 lbs.

A three-star prospect, Campbell committed to Iowa on March 31, 2018, choosing the Hawkeyes over scholarship offers from Iowa State, Minnesota, and UNI.

As a senior, he put up big numbers for Cedar Falls with 168 tackles, 12.5 TFL and 4.5 sacks, leading them to the state title game.
