Reminds Us Of
Kentucky · HS Class of 2011
2015 Draft · Rnd 1 · Pick 22We see some of Bud Dupree in Jihaad Campbell due to the similarities in frame, athleticism and projected positional progression. Dupree began his career as a 220-pound off-ball linebacker before ultimately growing into a 265-pound, athletic edge rusher. We would not be surprised to see Campbell take a similar path.
Team Predictions

Highly athletic, versatile edge defender who is an impact player on the most talented defense in high school football. Pairs high-end athleticism with positional versatility. Among the more athletic players on IMG Academy’s roster, clocking an electronically-timed 4.52 second 40-yard dash prior to his senior season. Plays as a rushing linebacker for IMG and has made the most splash plays on a defense that is two-deep with blue-chip prospects. Consistently wins as a pass rusher off the edge due to his first-step quickness and bend. Also has the ability to drop into space and play in coverage. Previously played off-the-ball at his high school in New Jersey, prior to transferring to IMG. Plays with high-energy both in practices and in games. Always shows up to compete, regardless of the setting. Will need to fill out his 6-foot-3, 210 pound frame to be a full-time EDGE at the next level.
