One of the greatest quarterbacks ever to pull on the Green & Gold, Campbell was the first, and only, Tribe player to earn the prestigious Walter Payton Award, given to the Top Offensive Player in I-AA (in 2004). Campbell was key cog in what was one of the most successful single-seasons in school history (2004), as he led the Tribe to a school-record 11 wins, a league title (the Atlantic 10) and its first appearance in the NCAA National Semi-Finals.  During that magical campaign, Campbell set school single-season records for passing yards, total offense, passing touchdowns, total touchdowns, and passing yards per game.  He also set an NCAA regular-season record with a 0.31 interception percentage (1 INT in 326 pass attempts).

Additionally, the co-captain was named as the Atlantic-10 Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2004 and earned consensus First-Team All-America honors the same season.  Despite playing behind another Hall of Fame Tribe quarterback (David Corley, Jr.) for the first two-seasons he was on campus, the three-time All-Academic team selection graduated third in career TD passes, fourth in career total offense, and fifth in career passing yards.
