According to Rivals' recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman, the Red Raiders are the team to beat in this one. Texas Tech was the first program to offer Campbell back in March 2024, and it's clear that head coach Joey McGuire and his staff have let him know that he's a top priority. In addition to the strong relationships and top-notch facilities, Texas Tech also offers Campbell the opportunity to play college ball close to home, something that is certainly playing a factor in his decision.
“Being the first to offer me, they believed in me, and that’s a big part of why they’re up there,” Campbell told Rivals. “Knowing they have top-notch facilities, top-notch people, and that there are people who have done it from Tech — I wouldn’t have to go too far to be able to play good football playing in the Big 12.”
