DT is where it all starts on defense. We have got to take this chance.

If in the future we find our self’s with enough quality DT depth we could move 1 or 2 DL to the OL where we will be plugging holes in another season or 2.

The only way I see us taking another DT now is if the guy is someone that could immediately get into the rotation. I like Campbell but he's undersized and I don't see him getting in the rotation next year. Why not just save the ship for 2014?

He definitely doesnt sound undersized to me. Scout has him listed at 6'5 290 and in his own tweet he says hes at 6'5"  311 now.

If he's that big now then I'm surprised. Also makes me wonder if he put on good or bad weight. In the fall his playing weight was right around 270.

"Albright: Everywhere I look, I find examples of how outstanding your character is on and off of the field. What past experiences have shaped the way you approach how you play football and how you approach choosing a college?

Campbell: Well, I would’ve attended WVU out of high school but multiple arrests and bad grades helped land me in JUCO, but I feel California and jail were the best things for me because they taught me to forever be humble and how important an education is. Also, coming from a single parent home and poverty in Florida I feel it’s my job to be the man of my family and give my younger brother and sister something to look up to as well as making sure I can provide for my mother who struggles along with my grandmother to put me through junior college. I just want to take care of them which leads me to want to inspire others and work as hard as I can to get to the top because I’m blessed to be here today and I want to show anybody that hard work does pay off and dreams can come true."

Maybe he has his act together now, who knows.

that sure sounds like a very well prepared & written statement to me.  My question is, who wrote it? A kid who had very poor grades?
