Campbell, a 6-foot-5, 320-pound defensive tackle committed to North Carolina in the summer of 2015 but was later notified that his admission to the school had been denied.

The university gave him the option of attending a junior college until meeting eligibility requirements, but Campbell didn’t want to risk spending two years of college eligibility before transferring to a four-year institution.

The first-team All-State player instead attended a prep school during the fall semester where he was able to raise his grades in hopes of transferring to a Division I school in January of 2017.

Campbell is now committed to Florida and on track to participate in football activities at the start of the new season.
