Drew Campbell makes college decision
Cedar Falls defensive end Drew Campbell has made his college decision. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Campbell announced today that he is headed to the University of Iowa to play for the Hawkeyes.
The younger brother of recently graduated All-American linebacker Jack Campbell, Drew has held a scholarship offer from the Hawkeyes since last July. Like his brother, he took his time with the recruiting process though, as he made sure to investigate each of the schools showing interest, which included offers from Iowa State, Kansas State, and Northern Iowa. In the end, the opportunity to play close to home in Iowa’s defense was just too good to pass up.
“I just felt like Iowa City is the place for me and the coaches made me feel most at home,” Campbell told HawkeyeReport.com.
A disruptive defensive end with the ability to wreck a game for the opponent, Campbell finished his junior season with 52 tackles, 20 TFL, and nine sacks for Cedar Falls. A four-star prospect at On3 Sports, he currently sits at No. 226 in the On300 rankings for the Class of 2024. In the On3 Industry Rankings, which compiles ratings across all the recruiting media services, Campbell is a high three-star recruit and the No. 581 prospect in the country.
Overall, Campbell is commitment No. 7 for Iowa in the Class of 2024. He joins Cam Buffington, Cody Fox, Preston Ries, Derek Weisskopf, Josh Janowski, and James Resar in the Hawkeyes’ recruiting class, which currently ranks 20th in the country.
