Miami transfer OT target sets announcement for Monday night
With two transfer portal targets set to announce their commitments Monday afternoon – add a third to the list as Miami transfer offensive tackle John Campbell tweeted he’ll make his call at 7 o’clock eastern time.
The 6-foot-5, 320-pounder entered the transfer portal on December 16 and plans to choose between Tennessee, Florida and Florida State. All three programs have hosted him on official visits recently, including Tennessee and Florida this past weekend.
Campbell, a former three-star in the 2018 class, started at left tackle this season for the Hurricanes after seeing plenty of action as a redshirt freshman and sophomore in 2019-2020. The tackle missed the entirety of the 2021 campaign recovering from leg surgery. This will be Campbell’s sixth year in college.
Vols have added four players out of NCAA Transfer Portal so far
The Vols over the last five weeks have added four players out of the NCAA Transfer Portal — UC Davis tight end McCallan Castles, Indiana kicker Charles Campbell, Texas offensive lineman Andrej Karic and BYU linebacker Keenan Pili.
Castles, a 6-foot-6, 245-pound tight end, was Tennessee’s first commitment out of the transfer portal in the 2023 class. Castles was second-team All-Big Sky after catching 32 passes for 347 yards and two touchdowns. He had 27 catches for 363 yards and four touchdowns in 2021, after catching 12 passes for 194 yards in the COVID spring season in 2021, leading to first-team All-Big Sky honors.
Campbell is No. 8 in Indiana football history in field goals made with 37 and is 14th in career points, with 179. He’s kicked five field goals from 50 yards or farther, including a career-best 55. He grew up a Tennessee fan and took an official visit to see the Vols in 2014.
Karic, a 6-foot-5, 306-pound offensive tackle from Texas, announced his commitment to Tennessee on Monday afternoon. He played 26 games over the last three seasons with the Longhorns, making two starts this season while appearing in all 12 games.
The 6-foot-3, 233-pound Pili, who spent the last four years with the Cougars, had 191 tackles in 34 career games at BYU, including 62 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sacks in 12 games this season. He had 13.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks during his time with the Cougars.
