For the first time this season, an LSU Football player declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Offensive lineman [autotag]Will Campbell[/autotag] announced his decision to forgo his additional year of eligibility to turn pro in a message posted to his Instagram on Tuesday.
In his final year donning the purple and gold, Campbell emerged as the undisputed leader of the offensive line. He anchored a unit known as one of the best in SEC and nationally.
The junior made multiple cuts for postseason awards recognizing the nation’s best linemen, including the semifinalist list for the Lombardi Trophy and a finalist nod for the Outland Trophy.
Campbell was named to the 2023 All-SEC first team as well as the 2022 All-Freshman SEC team and multiple Freshman All-American lists.
A native of Monroe, LA, Campbell ranked the No. 40 overall as a 4-star recruit in the 2022 class. He chose his home state school over multiple SEC offers.
Current mock drafts slot Campbell as a top-10 pick. Pro Football Focus’ latest prediction has him joining the Cleveland Browns at pick No. 8, which would make him the first offensive lineman taken.
