New in ’15: QB Campbell aims to succeed Thomas

[GTFLETCH]

Campbell, from Ponchatoula, La., will start his Tech career with no delusions about playing time this year. He does have high aspirations beyond that, however. Campbell said he wants to redshirt the 2015 season, sit behind quarterback Justin Thomas as a redshirt freshman in 2016 “and then hopefully I’ll get to start for three years.”

When he was recruited by coaches from SEC schools, Campbell said, he heard about how the SEC was the best conference and how the conference sends the most players into the NFL draft. However, Campbell chose Tech, in part because it offered him the chance to play quarterback.

He didn’t give the rhetoric much thought, he said, “since Georgia Tech puts guys in the NFL almost every year. They beat two SEC schools last year, so it’s kind of just blowing smoke.”

New. Favorite. Player.

This class has so much potential. Going to be fun to watch player development over the next few years. THWG

Excellent workup by KS, I'm looking forward to this ongoing series with the incoming freshmen.

Campbell is a stud. There are enough studs in this class to frame a house

Can't say he doesn't have the right attitude. If he's half the player #5 is, he's gonna be just fine.

Not only did he want to play QB at GT, but apparently the Triple Option: "IS HIS THING!"

He just wanted to wear Russell uniforms in college also!!!!

A great athlete but in his tape,he only ran TO in some of plays and didn't pass at all in the first 15. or so.Got to prove he can pass if he plays QB..

Don't know but a couple of football guys on the board -- I mean guys I find credible about x and 0 and evaluation stuff -- think he can play and really like his speed. As for passing, well. Remember until Thomas Johnson went six years without a passer at GT. Of course there are those records in the wandering years ...

Thanks. I was reading that wrong, and these old eyes didn't see the comma between Thomas and Johnson.

His kingdom for a comma ,.,

The grammar police are out in force, I see. Perhaps for clarity but I am a commas-travel-in-pairs kind of guy. But, hey, -- see there? -- give me credit for extending the thread.
