Louisiana is not very often the prospect for the attack on the top 100 offense, and Ed Orgeron, head coach of the LSU, and the Tigers make sure they do not miss the chance to roll in one.
Saturday night Neville High (Monroe) tackles offensive attack Wil Campbell stopped its recruitment process and committed to LSU over a two-digit list of candidates that also includes teams like Alabama, Oklahoma, Notre Dame and more.
Campbell is LSU’s first offensive tackle commitment for the yard class in 2022, and he is currently named by the 247Sports Composite as the overall prospect no. 56 in the country, the No. 6 offensive and No. 2 recruiter in Louisiana behind only fellow LSU commitment. and St. Thomas More-quarter, Walker Howard. At 247Sports, Campbell is ranked as the number 1 prospect in Louisiana, the number 5 attack in the country and the 45th overall prospect in the class.
And with a year plus until National Signing Day, Campbell is the most attacking attacker to come out of Louisiana since Cam Robinson of West Monroe in the 2014 class. Before Robinson, La’el Collins was the leading attack in Louisiana as part of a deep 2011 class. Both Robinson and Collins now start in the NFL after successful college careers and both finish as five stars on the 247Sports Composite rankings.
