Georgia Bulldogs cornerback Tyson Campbell is entering the 2021 NFL Draft.

Tyson Campbell came to the University of Georgia as a highly touted five-star recruit. Campbell helped lead American Heritage High School (Plantation, Florida) to a state championship in 2017.

Kirby Smart, Dan Lanning, and the defensive staff will have their hands full trying to rebuild the secondary for the 2021 season. Both Campbell and Stokes are projected to be selected in the first few rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft. It is tough to replace that level of talent, but fortunately, Georgia as several elite recruits to fill in the void.

Throwback to one of the best plays of Tyson Campbell’s career. He’ll be missed.

Georgia football player profile: CB Tyson Campbell

Georgia Bulldogs cornerback Tyson Campbell came to Athens as a highly touted five-star recruit from American Heritage High School.

Cornerback Tyson Campbell (#3):

Class: Junior

Height: 6-2

Weight: 185 lbs

Hometown: Plantation, Florida

High School: American Heritage

Georgia Bulldogs cornerback Tyson Campbell came to Athens as a highly touted five-star recruit. Campbell helped lead American Heritage to a state championship in 2017.

Campbell is a key piece of UGA’s roster in 2020. If Campbell can step up, then Georgia will have two elite corners on the outside (Campbell would join Eric Stokes). Campbell has work to do before taking the starting job. Last season D.J. Daniel took over Campbell’s starting spot following the third game of the season.

Campbell is now a veteran and certainly has the talent to contribute to Georgia’s elite defense. Additionally, he missed five games last season with a turf toe injury. His position battle with D.J. Daniel will be one of Georgia’s most intriguing intra-squad competitions to start the 2020 season. Georgia has solid depth at cornerback either way.

Campbell and sad Georgia Tech fans will never forget his second career touchdown (video per GeorgiaHeroes):
