Campbell was in Mobile, Alabama with other Penn Staters DeSean Hamilton, Mike Gesicki, and Marcus Allen. All three of Campbell’s former teammates are still available for the game.
Campbell is the listed as the No. 24 cornerback prospect in the 2018 NFL Draft according to CBS Sports, which is good enough for No. 175 overall. You may not want to hold your breath on an official injury update from the prospect, who may just well keep things under wrap heading into the draft.
The 2018 NFL Draft will take place from April 26-28 in Arlington, Texas.
