Will Campbell

A five-star offensive lineman who was considered the number one player in the state of Louisiana according to 247Sports, Campbell (6’6/319) contributed immediately by earning Freshman All-American and Second-Team All-SEC in 2022. He would go on to log almost every meaningful snap at left tackle for LSU for his three years on campus, playing 800+ snaps in each. The 2024 Consensus All-American allowed a near-perfect 0.3 percent blown run block rate and two sacks over the last two seasons. However, Campbell allowed 18 pressures with 9 penalties last year, which is the second-most among 2025 NFL Draft tackles, knocking his PFF overall grade down to 71.7. Campbell’s Combine showing was all aces, running a 4.98s 40-yard dash with a 32” vertical jump to become only the fourth, 315+ pound offensive lineman in history to achieve a sub-5.00s 40 time and jump higher than 30”. His advanced movement skills make him hard to beat around the loop and he is strong enough to hold defenders at bay when he locks on. While Campbell resets his hands well and can drop anchor when pushed, his 32 ⅝ length arms put him at a disadvantage in leverage battles where he can sometimes fall prey to inside moves. There is plenty of speculation that Campbell could kick inside and become a perennial pro-bowl caliber guard, but regardless of position he is a premium talent and should be an NFL fixture for the next several years.

According to Fowler, members of the Patriots organization traveled to Louisiana in recent days to meet with Campbell. The All-American tackle has also met with the team in Foxborough. The Athletic’s Jeff Howe adds that the Patriots “love” Campbell and appear “comfortable” selecting him if he is available. Doubt about his NFL potential was raised by the length of his arms, but apparently that doesn’t seem to bother the Patriots staff.
