LSU Football: Elite 2022 offensive lineman expected to land with Tigers

LSU football looks like the team to beat for an elite in-state 2022 offensive lineman.

2022 four-star offensive lineman Will Campbell is already one of the top recruits in the nation and it looks like he’s destined to end up as a member of LSU’s football team.

Campbell, 6-foot-5/270 lbs from Monroe, LA (Neville), is rated by 247Sports as the No. 2 player in the state of Louisiana and the No. 3 offensive tackle in the nation. He’s also rated as the No. 47 overall 2022 recruit.

Geaux247 reported this week that “a lot would have to go wrong” for Campbell to not end up at LSU. According to their report, Campbell is a lifelong Tigers fan and several folks in his family are LSU season ticket holders.

The offer from LSU, which came last October, was basically the offer that Campbell was waiting to receive.

But with that said, Campbell is still going to check out some other schools and enjoy the recruiting process. And I think that he should. Recruits only get one chance to live this experience. They might as well make the most of it and get to know other coaches and programs. You never know when a relationship formed at another program could pay off down the road (life is often about who you know).

However, when it’s all said and done, there’s almost no doubt that Campbell will be suiting up to play for Ed Orgeron in Baton Rouge.

As for Campbell’s abilities on the field?

Well, there’s a reason that LSU is making the four-star recruit a priority. And it’s not just because he’s from Louisiana.

247Sports midland region recruiting analyst Gabe Brooks describes Campbell as a player who “shows consistently good hand placement and keeps his mitts inside targets”. Brooks also says that Campbell is a “high-major offensive tackle prospect with terrific tools and long-term potential to reach the NFL Draft”.

The Tigers currently have four players committed to their 2022 recruiting class.
