Campbell ranks as a four-star recruit and the No. 41 player in the country according to the 247sports composite rankings. The Durham native also ranks as the No. 5 defensive lineman and the No. 2 player in the state of North Carolina.

The blue-chip recruit was committed to Clemson until late September. When Campbell de-committed, Tennessee and North Carolina were the viewed as the top contenders to land the top 50 recruit’s commitment.
