John Campbell ‘moving better’ in fall training camp

Tennessee offensive lineman John Campbell Jr. is moving better in fall training camp.

Tennessee practiced for the fifth time during fall training camp on Monday.

Third-year offensive line coach Glen Elarbee met with media following practice.

Elarbee discussed redshirt senior offensive lineman John Campbell Jr. The 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive lineman transferred to Tennessee from Miami on Jan. 9.

“I think two things with John,” Elarbee said. “I think he’s a little bit healthier. He played all of last year and had the injury, and I think he’s just moving better, but also, for sure in shape. Then it’s just the confidence of knowing the offense a little better. The more you know what you’re doing, and have confidence in it, the faster you’re going to play as well.”

Campbell Jr. appeared in 34 games, including 18 starts, at Miami from 2018-22. He started 16 games at left tackle, one at right tackle and one at left guard with the Hurricanes.
