Twitter reacts to five-star OL Devon Campbell signing with Texas

Lots of excitement from around the program about Devon Campbell signing with Texas.

Texas added the final piece of the puzzle to its No. 5 ranked recruiting class on Wednesday.

Five-star offensive lineman Devon Campbell chose his home state Longhorns over rival Oklahoma. One of the highest-rated offensive lineman Texas signees since 2000.

247Sports composite ranks Campbell as the top offensive line recruit in the nation and No. 9 overall prospect.

At 6-foot-3, 310-pounds, Campbell is one of the top athletes in the country. He has the ability to block downfield and is an exceptional basketball player. Texas can look forward to watching plays like this during Campbell’s time at Texas:

Campbell joins an already impressive offensive line haul. Texas signed seven talented linemen including two five-stars in Campbell and Kelvin Banks.

Kyle Flood earned his paycheck in this recruiting cycle. Before this class, Texas has not landed a five-star offensive lineman since way back in 2009.

Campbell’s announcement sparked lots of excitement on social media among Longhorn players and fans:

Texas lands commitment from five-star offensive lineman Devon Campbell

ON FIRE! Texas adds another five-star to its offensive line class in Devon Campbell.

Texas won a huge Red River recruiting battle on Wednesday as they landed five-star offensive lineman Devon Campbell over rival Oklahoma.

The Arlington Bowie product was one of the top uncommitted prospects heading into national signing day on Feb. 2.

Campbell is rated the No. 3 prospect in the state of Texas and the No. 1 interior offensive lineman in the country, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.

He becomes the highest-rated commit in Texas’ 2022 recruiting class.

Campbell joins offensive lineman Kelvin Banks as the sole five-star prospects in the class. If they both hold true to their commitment, it will be the first time in program history for Texas to sign two five-star offensive linemen in the same cycle.

Recruiting analyst Gabe Brooks from 247Sports had promising things to say about Campbell in his scouting report:

Average height with good length and a stout build that is virtually college-ready. Good athlete on the field relative to size; shows in pulling ability and second-level blocking. Heavy-handed and flashes devastating punch power at times in those second-level opportunities. Impressive open-field athleticism when lead-blocking beyond the line of scrimmage. Terrorizes second-level defenders and looks for extra work.

With the addition of Campbell, Texas signed one of the best offensive line classes in program history. A fantastic job by Kyle Flood.
