Campbell is being recruited as a safety as he is solid in coverage, but has the range, courage and finishing ability, to step up and make plays against the run.

Campbell is the sixth player to decommit from Rutgers' recruiting class of 2016 following Nassau (Garden City, N.Y.) offensive tackle Malcolm Pridgeon and Venice (Fla.) defensive tackle Jarrod Hewitt, as well as Poly Prep (Brooklyn, N.Y.) linebacker Elias Reynolds, West Catholic (Philadelphia, Pa.) defensive tackle Tymir Oliver and Grand Street (Brooklyn, N.Y.) wide receiver Ahmed Bah, who flipped their pledges following Flood's firing.
