OVERALL

Will Campbell is a three-year starter and two-time team captain inside LSU's pass-first (60-40 pass-run split), multiple-run scheme with 31 career starts at left tackle. He is the first offensive lineman in school history to be named the team's top playmaker and awarded the number seven, which he wears as a patch on his jersey (due to the inability for linemen to wear single digits). Campbell has a tall, sawed-off frame and sturdy build with very good athletic ability.

Campbell is a smooth operator with a polished, well-rounded skill set and a natural feel for the position due to very good footwork, hand placement, play strength, and competitive toughness. He is an adept run blocker who can secure and create immediate displacement on angle-drive and base blocks with the body control and balance to recover, sustain and finish at a high level. He doesn't bring a ton of mass, girth or length but has very good core strength and strong hands to torque and control defenders away from the ball.

In pass protection, Campbell is a fluid mover to the spot with excellent strike timing and hand placement to latch inside the frame of his target and efficiently transition into his anchor when rushers use power. He can expand and protect the corner against speed off of the edge while remaining balanced through the top of the quarterback's drop. Campbell can get over-aggressive in his set against widely-aligned, high-side rushes, which results in drifting and oversetting, leaving room for inside counters to gain access to his inside half.

Overall, Campbell is a prime candidate to move inside as a pro. He has the makeup, movement skills, play strength, and competitive toughness to make a smooth transition to guard or center and be an impact starter with Pro Bowl potential during his rookie contract.
